The varying microbiological pattern of septicemia in neonates warrants the need for an ongoing review of the causative organisms and their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern. The incidence of bacteremia in neonates varies widely. As neonatal septicemia is life threatening condition, delay in diagnosis and treatment may lead to adverse complications, hence isolation followed by antibiotic sensitivity are crucial for prompt treatment. The blood-broth media were incubated for 7 days at 37oC under aerobic atmosphere. Blind subcultures were done on blood agar, chocolate agar and MacConkey agar media after 24 hours, 48hours(when no growth was found upon first subculture) and on 7th day(when found sterile upon second subculture) of incubation. The cultures were declared negative only after 7th day of incubation. In our work, of these 49, GPCs were isolated from 26(53%) blood samples which were predominant cause of septicemia in neonates compared to GNBs which were isolated from 21(42.85%) cases followed by non candidaalbicans isolated from 2(4.08%) blood samples.
