| Abstract | ||
| 130 blood samples were obtained from febrile infants who admitted to Babylon Maternity and Children Hospital during the period from February 2008, until June 2008. This study investigated the distribution and the most causative agents (Gram Positive Bacteria), the elevation of (CRP, ESR and WBCs count) with the infections and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of bacterial pathogens isolated from patients with bacteremia. Results showed that Staphylococcus aureus formed (57%) from all bacteremia causative agents followed by Streptococcus pneumoniae (32.3%) and Bacillus spp. (10.7%). Staphylococcus aureus showed sensitivity for Amikacin, Nitrofurantoin, Norfloxacin and Ofloxacin, while Streptococcus pneumoniae were sensitive to Amikacin, Amoxicillin, Cefodizime, Chloromphenicol, Clarithromycin, Gentamycin, Kanamycin, Lincomycin, Nitrofurantoin, Norfloxacin, Ofloxacin, Oxacillin, Oxytetracyclin, Penicillin and Rifampim, Bacillus spp. Revealed sensitivity with Amikacin, Chloromphenicol, Gentamycin, Kanamycin, Nitrofurantoin, Norfloxacin, Ofloxacin, Piperacillin, Tetracycline, Tobramycin and Vancomycin. From 130 infants with bacteremia 88 had C-Reactive Protein >24 mg/L, 82 had ESR >35 mm/hour, and 73 had WBC >15 000/mL. | ||
