20245 citationsOpen accessMakerere University

Abstract

Our study demonstrates high levels of antimicrobial resistance and inpatient mortality from neonatal sepsis in the first months of life in Uganda. This underscores the pressing need for revised, context-specific antimicrobial treatment guidelines that account for the evolving landscape of antimicrobial resistance in neonatal sepsis.
