title: Triple antibiotic spray application to umbilical cords.
abstract: A trial in 402 newborns demonstrated that application of 'Tribiotic' spray either as a single dose at birth or repeated daily resulted in a significant reduction of umbilical cord infections compared with no antibiotic application. 'Tribiotic' spray was well tolerated but led to delayed cord separation.
