Is fusidic acid good for neonatal sepsis?

Patient's question:

I have been experiencing dizziness recently, and I can't eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was a blood-related issue. I was wondering if fusidic acid is effective for neonatal sepsis?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of neonatal sepsis must be based on the results of blood culture, as this is the only way to achieve better effects. If the blood culture results indicate Gram-positive cocci, Fusidic acid can be used. However, if it is a negative bacterial infection, the effect may not be very good. Therefore, it is essential to treat the disease according to the specific bacterial flora to achieve targeted therapeutic effects.
