AB Two  infants  are  born  within  the  last  hour.  One  infant's  mother  had  premature  rupture  of  membranes  (PROM)  but  no  antibiotics.  The  other  infant's  mother  was  pretreated  with  antibiotics  for  a  positive  group  B  Streptococcus  (GBS)  culture  taken  at  36  weeks.  Should  a  sepsis  workup  be  done,  and  should  antibiotics  be  started  in  either  of  these  newborns?
