Early Transition from Parenteral to Oral Antibiotics for Neonates with Bacteremic Urinary Tract Infections
We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 49 neonates with bacteremic UTIs to assess efficacy of transition to oral antibiotics. Forty-one received oral step-down therapy after parenteral antibiotics; two had relapsed UTIs. No cases of bacteremia or meningitis occurred within 30 days post-treatment, suggesting transition to oral antibiotics as effective.
