Clinical features of neonatal sepsis caused by resistant Gram-negative bacteria.

Background: Clinical features and outcomes of neonatal sepsis caused by resistant Gram-negative bacteria are not well described in Jordan. The aim of the present study was therefore to describe microbiology and clinical features, laboratory findings and outcomes of early- and late-onset Gram-negative neonatal sepsis.

Methods: All patients with Gram-negative bacteremia between July 2003 and June 2005 were retrospectively included.
