Abstract
BACKGROUND: Neonatal Sepsis is a major cause of infant death, especially if associated with ABR. Choice of empirical antibiotics is particularly challenging without access to culture/DST, as in most resource limited settings. MSF care included blood cultures (BCs) since 2015. Here we describe the characteristics of babies, etiologies, ABR, treatment and outcomes.
