| Abstract |
|
Bacterial infection is a frequent and important cause of morbidity and mortality in the neonatal period. Knowing the changing pattern of neonatal bacterial infections is important and recently the group B streptococcus has been vieing with Coliforms for preeminence. This study was undertaken to observe the pattern of bacteria in the neonatal infections and for detection of group B streptococcus. The most common organisms cultured from gastric content, blood, urine, and ear swab in orders were, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter, and Escherichia coli, and group B streptococcus was not cultured. The organisms seen in the vaginal smears of mothers were gram(-) bacilli, gram(+) bacilli, gram(+) cocci, gram(+) diplococci in orders and group B streptococcus was not cultured. No significant relationship between the organisms in the infant and the birth canal was noted.
