Could shorter antibiotics work just as well for newborns?
NCT ID NCT05329701
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving antibiotics for a shorter, personalized time is as safe and effective as the usual 7-day course for full-term newborns with a suspected infection. About 488 babies took part across 18 hospitals. The goal was to see if shorter treatment could reduce antibiotic use without increasing the risk of readmission or death.
