Clinical Trial Summary

Antibiotic therapy for early onset neonatal sepsis recommended by international guidelines and relevant studies is only kind of treatment regimen that penicillin G/ penicillin/ampicillin combined with gentamicin as the first-line treatment regimen. However, it is not applicable to the clinical practice in many countries and regions. We aim to study efficacy and safety of antibiotics in the treatment of early onset neonatal sepsis.
