Introduction: Neonatal Septicemia is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. As infections due to ESBL producing K. pneumoniae & E. coli are on the rise, the present study was carried out in the NICU of KIMS, Narketpally, with an aim to identify any environmental sources & the mode of transmission over a period of 3 years from August 2006 to July 2009. Materials and Methods: A total of 264 neonates admitted with clinical features suggestive of septicemia in the NICU were studied by blood culture and CRP estimation. Antibiotic susceptibility pattern was determined. ESBL detection was done by double disc synergy test. Environmental samples from various sites (Incubators, phototherapy units, suction apparatus, trolley, door, floor, work surfaces) were collected using sterile swabs every month and processed simultaneously. ..
