Beta-lactamases were the most common AMR genes identified, with a predominance of AmpH, penicillin binding protein (PBP), TEM and CTX-M gene types, conferring resistance to ampicillin and 3rd generation cephalosporins, which, along with Gentamicin, are WHO recommended first and second line antibiotics for neonatal sepsis. Here, AMPH is linked to Neonatal sepsis.
