Etiology of Neonatal Bacterial Meningitis and Their Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Ethiopia: A Seven-Year Retrospective Study

Abstract

The prevalence of neonatal bacterial meningitis was 1.73%. <i>Klebsiella pneumonia</i> and other Gram-negative rods, with a high multidrug-resistant rate, were the leading cause of neonatal bacterial meningitis. Further studies are needed to explore the source of infection, incidence, and risk factors of neonatal bacterial meningitis.
