OSTIA-GARZA, Patricia J. y SALZAR-ESPINO, Berenice. Frequency of risk factors associated with neonatal sepsis. Perinatol. Reprod. Hum. [online]. 2021, vol.35, n.1, pp.3-9. Epub 06-Jun-2022. ISSN 2524-1710. https://doi.org/10.24875/per.19000059.
Neonatal sepsis is that clinical situation derived from the invasion and proliferation of bacteria, fungi or viruses in the newborn, which manifests itself in the first 28 days of life. The etiology is fundamentally bacterial, since sepsis due to fungi and viruses accounts for less than 1% of cases.

Conclusion:
The factors related to neonatal sepsis in the period we`re the use of parenteral nutrition, assistance with mechanical ventilation and use of central veins. The most frequently isolated microorganisms were Escherichia coli (21.5%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (20.5%).
