Abstract

Objectives: Determine the microbiological profile and antibiotic sensitivity of the bacterial isolates obtained from blood cultures of patients with neonatal sepsis in the National Hospital Ramiro PrialéPrialé of Huancayo, in the years 2009-2011.

Methods: Was performed a descriptive, retrospective and transversal study; based on reports of blood cultures from patients with neonatal sepsis during the years 2009-2011.

Results: The incidence of neonatal sepsis was 47, 66 per 1,000 live births. The gram-positives bacteria were the most common etiologic agents, coagulase negative Staphylococci (CNS) were found in 71, 91%, followed for Staphylococci aureus 12, 36% and Burkholderia cepacia in 4, 49% of cases. In neonatal sepsis episodes for gram-positive, in the antibiogram were reported sensitivity to Vancomycin, Tigecycline and Linezolid in the 100% of cases. Also in the most, were found resistance to ampicillin, amoxicillin and erythromycin. Were reported the sensitivity to ciprofloxacin for gram negative in the 100% of cases.

Conclusions: Empiric antibiotic therapy for neonatal sepsis should be based on the statistics microbiological of each hospital.
