    Ureaplasma urealyticum was isolated from the endotracheal aspirates of 39 (21.4%) of 182 neonates with respiratory distress requiring ventilatory support. Mycoplasma hominis was isolated from one (0.5%) neonate. Bacterial cultures were negative in 123 (67.6%) neonates. Antibiotic susceptibility test carried out on ten isolates of U. urealyticum showed that all the organisms were sensitive to erythromycin but resistant to lincomycin and sulfamethoxazole trimethoprim. All, except one, U. urealyticum were sensitive to tetracycline and minocycline. Two isolates were resistant to ciprofloxacin. This study showed that U.urealyticum was a common organism isolated from the endotracheal aspirates of neonates with respiratory distress.
