Background: Prophylactic antibiotic use in preterm premature rupture of membranes is associated with significantly reduced intra-amniotic infection and improved neonatal outcome, although data are insufficient to determine the optimal antibiotic regimen. Ampicillin resistance has changed the epidemiology of neonatal sepsis.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the efficacy of two antibiotic regimens in prolonging the latency period in women with preterm premature rupture of membranes.
