Preterm infants are susceptible to infections that can rapidly progress to disastrous outcomes. Antibiotics are lifesaving, but their prolonged and inappropriate use are associated with adverse outcomes. In this review, we discuss the current status of antimicrobial use in the preterm neonatal population, and the challenges in determining the initiation, duration, and choice of antibiotics. Finally, we review the clinical studies on the potential consequences of prolonged antimicrobial exposure in prematurely born infants.
