Neonatal sepsis still a main leading cause of morbidity and mortality among neonates, especially in the developing countries ,Most cases of Neonatal sepsis in neonatal intensive care unit are attributed to GB streptococcus, klebsiellapneumonia and other members of Enterobacteriaceae family.Shewanella algae (S.algae)is a gram –negative saprophytic bacillus, commonly associated with the marine environment,which has been isolated from humans.Early onset neonatal sepsis caused by S.algae is uncommon.Wereporta first case of Shewanella. Algaemeningitis in newborn with early onset neonatal sepsis which was responding to antimicrobial therapy and associated with good early out come and no late neurodevelopmental sequel.
