Bacteriological profile and antibiotic susceptibility of early-onset neonatal bacterial infection in a neonatal unit in Cameroon

This study shown a high prevalence of early neonatal infection with a variability of the local ecology. Also there was a high resistance of bacterial pathogens to the common antibiotics. All these findings were associated with a high mortality which is suggesting that a timely identification and initiation of effective antibiotherapy is necessary to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with neonatal infection.

Abstract

This study shown a high prevalence of early neonatal infection with a variability of the local ecology. Also there was a high resistance of bacterial pathogens to the common antibiotics. All these findings were associated with a high mortality which is suggesting that a timely identification and initiation of effective antibiotherapy is necessary to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with neonatal infection.
