Surveillance for incidence and etiology of early-onset neonatal sepsis in Soweto, South Africa

Globally, over 400,000 neonatal deaths in 2015 were attributed to sepsis, however, the incidence and etiologies of these infections are largely unknown in low-middle income countries. We aimed to determine incidence and etiology of community-acquired early-onset (
