This study aimed to determine bacteriological quality of indoor air in neonatal wards at tertiary hospitals and assess antibiotic resistance patterns of isolated bacteria. Passive air sampling was performed to appraise bacteriological indoor air quality employing the gravity settle plate method to monitor air quality in the morning and afternoon. Each procedure was performed in duplicate on Nutrient Agar plates for 30 and 60 minutes. A total of 75 bacteria were isolated and subjected to antibiotic sensitivity tests using the Kirby-Bauer’s disk diffusion method. | Bacteriological indoor air quality in neonatal wards of three tertiary hospitals in Dar Es salaam
