Neonatal sepsis remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among neonates globally, particularly in developing countries. It is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by infection and a systemic inflammatory response, posing challenges in terms of early diagnosis and treatment. Neonatal sepsis can arise from various sources, but the principal culprits are often bacterial pathogens that invade the neonate’s sterile internal environment, particularly during or after birth. Understanding the clinical and bacterial profile of neonatal sepsis is essential to improve diagnosis, enhance therapeutic outcomes, and reduce neonatal mortality rates.
