Neonatal sepsis is the most common cause of mortality and morbidity. It is a major global public health challenge, particularly in developing countries. Therefore, knowing the current status of bacterial isolates and their antimicrobial resistance profile is essential to physicians and health workers to implement appropriate intervention. The aims of this study was to assess a ten-year trend of bacterial prevalence isolates from blood culture among neonates (&lt;1 month of age). Method. A hospital-based retrospective study was conducted on 1854 neonatal patients who were admitted at University of Gondar Specialized Comprehensive Hospital between 2010 and 2020. Sociodemographical and laboratory data were collected from medical records. Quality of the data was assured through standard operational procedures. Data were entered and analysed using SPSS version 20. Bivariate analysis was employed to determine strings of association between the outcome variable and sociodemographic variables.

Results. In a total of 1854 patients, 538 (29%) were culture positive. The overall neonatal sepsis infection rate was 287 (53.5%) for male and 249 (46.5%) for female. The highest proportion of neonatal sepsis infection rate was observed among the patients in the age range between 3 and 28\u2009days and gestational at birth &lt;37 weeks, 461(86%) and 278 (52%), respectively. Gestational at birth (<jats:inline-formula>\n                     <c:math xmlns:c=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M2\">\n                        <c:mi>P<\/c:mi>\n                     <\/c:math>\n                  <\/jats:inline-formula>\u2009\u2264\u20090.001, AOR\u2009=\u20095.81, CI: 4.63\u20137.29) is significantly associated with bacterial isolates. The predominant pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus, 18 (76.6%), Klebsiella pneumoniae, 146 (38%), and E. coli, 45 (11.7%) among the age range less than one weak. Klebsiella spp, S. aureus, and E. coli showed a high level of resistance to most tested antimicrobials. Amikacin, ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin, and erythromycin were the most effective antibiotics whereas ampicillin, amoxicillin, and cotrimoxazole were the least effective antibiotics for isolates. Conclusion. Neonatal sepsis infection is common in the 3\u201328\u2009days of age range. S. aureus, E. coli, and K. pneumonia were the most common isolates. Most the bacterial pathogens were resistant to commonly prescribed antibiotics. Therefore, an antimicrobial sensitivity test for bacterial isolates is recommended to provide updated data for the physician in choosing the appropriate antibiotic for better patient treatment outcome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/9992994","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,29]],"date-time":"2021-09-29T18:39:57Z","timestamp":1632940797000},"page":"1-8","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Trend Analysis of Multidrug-Resistant Bacterial Pathogens Causing Neonatal Sepsis at University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia: A Retrospective Study"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8506-5185","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mohabaw","family":"Jemal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Gondar, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Biomedical and Laboratory Sciences, Department of Medical Microbiology, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fetene","family":"Tinshku","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Gondar, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Biomedical and Laboratory Sciences, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yeshwas","family":"Nigussie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Gondar, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Biomedical and Laboratory Sciences, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Birhanetinsae","family":"Kefyalew","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Gondar, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Biomedical and Laboratory Sciences, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chalie","family":"Alemu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Gondar, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Biomedical and Laboratory Sciences, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Martha","family":"Belay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Gondar, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Biomedical and Laboratory Sciences, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4350-9803","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Teshome","family":"Belachew","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Gondar, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Biomedical and Laboratory Sciences, Department of Medical Microbiology, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9157-3637","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Birhanu","family":"Ayelegn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Gondar, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Biomedical and Laboratory Sciences, Department of Immunology and Molecular Biology, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.PCC.0000161946.73305.0A"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2393-12-48"},{"key":"3","article-title":"Prevalence of neonatal sepsis and associated factors among neonates in neonatal intensive care unit at selected governmental hospitals in shashemene town, Oromia regional state, Ethiopia","volume":"7","author":"M.
