🤱Preterm birth is the top cause of child mortality. Our team from @qmulfmd.bsky.social report in @nejm.org that an antibiotic (cotrimoxazole) during pregnancy doesn't increase birthweight but may reduce preterm birth by 40%. Work ongoing to study maternal microbiomes! www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

A study of almost 1000 pregnant women in Zimbabwe found that a daily dose of a commonly used, safe and inexpensive antibiotic may have led to fewer babies being born early. Among women living with HIV, those who received the antibiotic had larger babies who were less likely to be preterm.
