Mean age at 2.5+ 2.1 day (minimum and maximum age was 1 and 7 days. The most common symptom of respiratory distress (28.1%) and 6.3% with a definite diagnosis of sepsis, 26.6 probable sepsis % 67.2% with sepsis may be, have been hospitalized. Gastric culture results in premature neonates due to staphylococcus epidermidis, and Streptococcus based on the most common SPP, which in the stomach smear 46.9% Gram-positive pathogens has been reported. Conclusion: Early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis in order to reduce complications, such as blood culture methods susceptible to cell culture and smear stomach is recommended.
