This case series from a tertiary care hospital in South India describes the clinical profile and outcome of 92 neonates with culture-positive Elizabethkingia sepsis. Elizabethkingia sepsis predominantly affected preterm neonates, with common clinical features including respiratory distress, apnea, and poor feeding. Meningitis was noted in 68% of cases, and the mortality rate was 12%. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed susceptibility of Elizabethkingia to minocycline and levofloxacin.
