It is a rare cause of sepsis in newborns and its transmission involves human contact with heavily contaminated medical devices and disinfectants. We are describing a rare case of sepsis by Burkholderia Cepacia in a pre-term infant, diagnosed in Neonatal Intensive Care unit, University hospital; Marrakesh. He was a male newborn, he was a pre-term with intrauterine growth retarded, he was admitted for sepsis. The diagnosis was made by blood culture. The treatment was a bi-antibiotic treatment: imipenem and aminoglycoside. The outcome was fatal after 9 days. Burkholderia Cepacia is a nosocomial pathogen of humans in both immunocompromised and hospitalized patients . It causes infections that are proving difficult to treat because of both high intrinsic (aminoglycosides and colistin) and acquired resistance (__ampersandsignbeta;-lactams). We conclude that the drugs are already limited in this bacteria. Progress remains to be made in antibiotic therapy, as often molecules are active in vitro and especially in vivo.</Abstract> <AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage> <Keywords>Bacteremia,Burkholderia cepacia complex,Neonatal,Sepsis</Keywords> <URLs> <Abstract>https://www.jmedicalcasereports.org/ubijournal-v1copy/journals/abstract.php?article_id=7293&title=Burkholderia Cepacia Sepsis: A Neonatal Case</Abstract> </URLs> <References> <ReferencesarticleTitle>References</ReferencesarticleTitle> <ReferencesfirstPage>16</ReferencesfirstPage> <ReferenceslastPage>19</ReferenceslastPage> <References>Akinboyo IC, Sick-Samuels AC, Singeltary E, Fackler J, Ascenzi J, Carroll KC, Maldonado Y, Brooks RB, Benowitz I, Wilson LE, LiPuma JJ, Milstone AM.
