| Abstract | Sepsis with multidrug resistant bugs is a major public health concern that poses a global threat [1]. The epidemic of superbugs is more relevant to India as it is being reported from all intensive care units and also in all health care settings. The number of deaths caused by sepsis due to drug-resistant organisms in India are more than the all-cause neonatal deaths in the United States of America. Antibiotics are the most common medications prescribed to hospitalized children, more so in the neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) [2,3]. One main reason for the overuse of antibiotics in the NICUs is that neonates have limited repertoire of signs and symptoms for infectious and non-infectious illnesses. This overlap in the presentation creates difficulty when developing clinical management guidelines, including selection and duration of antibiotic regimen. |
