Popis:	Objectives: To compare the antimicrobial sensitivity patterns in neonatal infections in the year 2011 and 2014 in a Tertiary care Hospital in east India. Methodology: A retrospective study was done by collecting data from medical records of 150 neonates with positive cultures for blood, urine and cerebrospinal fluid in a Tertiary care hospital of Rourkela, Odisha. The antibiotic sensitivity patterns of the years 2011 and 2014 were tabulated. The data wasanalyzed using chi square test. Results: A statistically significant decrease in resistance to Ampicillin was seen in 2014 when compared to 2011 (p value=0.011) Conclusion: The advent of higher antibiotics has led to decreased use of baseline antibiotics like Ampicillin. The subsequent "drug vacation" may have led to the lower Ampicillin resistance.
