Neonatal sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally. The aim of this study was to assess admission outcome and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of bacterial isolates among neonates with suspected sepsis at the Dessie Comprehensive specialized Hospital (DCSH), Northeastern Ethiopia. Method. Cross-sectional study was conducted from August 2017 to March 2018. Two hundred forty-six neonates were recruited, and each patient\u2019s blood specimen was collected aseptically using bottle containing Brain Heart Infusion for blood culture. Both clinical and laboratory data such as bacterial culture growth and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern were collected from the neonate; clinical data from the mothers were also included. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results. Bacteria were identified from 67 (27.2%) blood cultures. The predominant pathogen was Escherichia coli (35.8%) followed by Staphylococcus aureus (26.8%), and Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) (19.4%). The isolated bacteria showed resistance to Ampicillin 55 (82%), third-generation Cephalosporins 21 (58.3%) and other tested antimicrobials. Overall, 68.6% bacterial isolates demonstrated Multidrug resistance (MDR) and total registered mortality rate was 12\/246 (4.8%). Both neonatal factors such as neonatal temperature, septic umbilicus and utilization of indwelling medical device during delivery; and maternal factors such as age, antenatal urinary tract infection (UTI), mode of delivery and prolonged rupture of membrane (PROM) had shown statistically significant association with bacterial sepsis. Conclusion. The rate of bacterial growth was found to be high; E. coli and S. aureus were the predominant organisms. Both maternal and neonatal related data were strong predictors for bacterial infection of the neonate. Therefore, improving infrastructures for screening of bacteremia as well as active surveillance in clinical setting needed to ensure proper empirical therapy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/1318295","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,8]],"date-time":"2022-07-08T22:50:09Z","timestamp":1657320609000},"page":"1-13","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Admission Outcome and Antimicrobial Resistance Pattern of Bacterial Isolates among Neonates with Suspected Sepsis in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Dessie Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Dessie, Northeastern Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2022","author":[{"given":"Genet Molla","family":"Fenta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Laboratory Science, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Wollo University, P.O.
