Abstract

Background and Objectives: SEPTICEMIA is one of the main causes of neonatal mortality and meningitis. SEPTICEMIA accounts for 30-40% of mortality and permanent sequelae in up to 30% of survivers. This study was conducted to investigate prevalent bacteria causing SEPTICEMIA in special care baby unit of Al-Zahra Hospital in Tabriz.Materials and Methods: In a period of two years (1995-1997), 837 NEONATEs having clinical indications of sepsis were studied using blood culture system (brain heart infusion broth, Oxoid). The isolated bacteria were identified using conventional methods and the sensitivity of the bacteria was determined using disc diffusion method.Results: Of 837 blood cultures, 199 were positive. The most common causative bacteria were KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE (82.4%), Coagulase - negative Staphylococcus (7%), Staphylococcus aureus (5.5%), E.coli (3.5% ), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (1% ) and beta - haemolytic Streptococcus (0.5 %). KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE strains isolated in this study were resistant to most of the antibiotics routinely used and were predominantly isolated from NEONATEs having catheters or fed parenterally. The same bacteria were isolated from hospital equipments and environment.Conclusion: KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE was isolated as a main bacterium ( 82.4 %) from blood cultures of NEONATEs in the special care baby unit of Al -Zahra Medical Center, followed by coagulase negative staphylococci, S. aureus, E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and beta - haemolytic Streptococcus sp. The same bacteria were isolated from hospital equipments and environment underscoring the importance of good hygiene in reducing rate of infection in these highly susceptible patients.
