During April 2015\u2013November 2016, we prospectively collected 128 blood cultures from neonates admitted with clinical sepsis to the provincial hospital in Takeo, Cambodia, to describe the local epidemiology. Two percent (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 3) of positive blood cultures identified were Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) and were presumed pathogens, whereas 10% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 13) of positive blood cultures identified were likely contaminants, consistent with findings in other published studies. No group B <jats:italic>Streptococcus<\/jats:italic> was identified in any positive cultures. The presence of GNB as the primary pathogens could help influence local treatment
