Objective  Neonatal sepsis still remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. The prediction of the neonatal sepsis outcome depends on the anticipation from the clinical history, suspicion from clinical findings and confirmation by laboratory tests. This study aimed to determine the clinical outcome and isolated pathogens among neonates with sepsis in Butembo, Democratic Republic of the Congo.    Results  The most frequent bacteria related to a poor outcome were  Staphylococcus aureus ,  Escherichia coli ,  Pseudomonas aeruginosa  and  Klebsiella  spp. Most of isolated bacteria were found to be hospital-acquired infections. Therefore, adherence to infection prevention and control measures would reduce reduced rate of neonatal sepsis in our setting. The empiric antibiotic treatment should cover the spectrum of bacteria responsible of neonatal sepsis in Butembo, DRC.    Electronic supplementary material  The online version of this article (10.1186/s13104-019-4346-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
