Antibiotic treatment is recommended to prolong the pregnancy course and reduce fetal morbidity in women with PPROM. However, the guidelines for antibiotic selection are based on studies done years ago, mostly in Western countries, which may not reflect the geographic, temporal, and ethnic variation in microbial colonization and infection in other parts of the world. We aimed to understand whether the antibiotics recommended by the current guidelines were sufficient to eradicate the majority of pathogens involved.enAntibiotic; Antibiotic resistance; Preterm birth; Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM)journal article10.1016/j.jfma.2022.03.015353795752-s2.0-85127608400https://scholars.lib.ntu.edu.tw/handle/123456789/604348
