The rate of antibiotic exposure at the beginning of life of life varies between 1.2 and 14%11,32,4749. The incidence of culture-proven early-onset sepsis (EOS) varies between 0.13 and 1.45/1000 term and late-preterm neonates11,32,5357. Therefore, between 50 to more than 100 term and late-preterm neonates are started on antibiotics for each case of culture-proven EOS.
