ABSTRACT
Anaerobe-targeted antibiotic (ATA) therapy may adversely impact the developing neonatal microbiome. We describe utilization patterns, potential indications, and related outcomes of ATA therapy in neonatal intensive care units across the US over 13 years. While overall antibiotic use decreased, ATA use was unchanged. Potentially associated indications were inconsistent.
