Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, a multi drug resistant non fermenting Gram negative bacillus is an increasingly common nosocomial pathogen, especially in intensive care units. Comparatively few cases of infection have been reported in neonatal population. We present two cases of early onset neonatal sepsis due to S.maltophilia and a brief review of documented isolation in neonates.

Background: Neonatal sepsis (EOS) is among one of the leading cause death that usually occurs due to infection in first month life and can be result various maternal neonatal contributing factors. Objectives: To determine factors for early onset neonates. Study design: cross sectional study Period: From 13th April 2019 12th Oct 2019.

OBJECTIVE A periodic review of neonatal sepsis to asses any change in the infecting organism. METHOD A prospective study was conducted at HMC and ASH, Karachi. The babies suspected to have or developed sepsis any time during hospitalization were investigated to establish the diagnosis and isolate the causative organism. Blood culture was taken at the time of admission or when sepsis was suspe...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to explore the risk factors, clinical symptoms, hematological parameters, causative pathogen and antibiotic susceptibility of neonatal sepsis in a Chinese NICU. METHODS A retrospective survey was conducted on 116 cases of neonatal sepsis in NICU at the Maternal and Child Care Hospital in Shenzhen, China from January 2009 to December 2012.
