Summary
This study tested whether giving mothers a single 2-gram dose of the antibiotic azithromycin during labour (or just before a C-section) could reduce the number of skin and soft tissue infections in their babies by 3 months of age. Over 2,100 pregnant women took part. The goal was to see if this simple, one-time treatment could help prevent common bacterial infections in young infants.
