Alimentary kanamycin, 15 mg/kg per day, was given as prophylaxis for neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis in a prospective study. Newborn infants of less than 1500 g birth weight who survived until initiation of alimentary nutrition at the University of Florida [USA] Neonatal Intensive Care Unit were admitted to a control or study group based on the last digit of the hospital number. Alimentary kanamycin was not absorbed; all blood levels determined were less than 0.5 .mu.g/ml. The 2 groups had similar gestational ages, birth weights, severity of neonatal illness and frequency of therapeutic procedures. In the study group of 35 infants, none developed neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis, whereas 5 cases occurred in the 40 control infants (P = 0.038).
