Serological group B streptococci (GBS) are common bacteria, which usually remain unnoticed. This is also the case for the almost 20% of pregnant women with vaginal or anal colonization of GBS. The bacteria pose a risk for the babies, however: In the worst case, an infection at birth can ...
The Pregnancy Meeting, in San Francisco, researchers will present findings that show that many women are having different test results for Group B streptococcus (GBS) between their routine third trimester screening and a rapid test performed at the time of labor. ...
20–25% pregnant women in the UK carry group B streptococcus (GBS) which, if left undetected, is transmitted from pregnant mothers to their babies during birth in 36% of cases. This transmission leads to early onset GBS infection (EOGBS) in 1% of babies

Group BStreptococcus(GBS) is a pathogen of worldwide significance, and although prophylactic measures have reduced the number of infections, development of a vaccine remains an important goal. Here, the authors review the incidence of GBS and how new tec

Group B streptococcus nucleic acid amplification:Although culture-based testing remains the standard for maternal antepartum GBS screening, NAAT offers a potentially more sensitive alternative. However, NAAT does not isolate the organism for antibiotic susceptibility testing, which is crucial for women with...
Experts aren't sure how group B streptococcus is spread among adults, as it's not sexually transmitted, and it’s not spread through food or water. This type of bacteria seems to come and go naturally. Even the healthiest of people can carry the GBS bacteria. You may carry it in your...
Group B Streptococcus, also known as Streptococcus agalactiae, was once considered a pathogen of only domestic animals, causing mastitis in cows. S agalactiae is now best known as a cause of postpartum infection and as the most common cause of neonatal s
