Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to assess how common group B Streptococcus (GBS) is among pregnant women and their newborns, as well as the risk of passing it from mother to child.
- Researchers analyzed 54 studies involving nearly 356,000 women and infants from 30 countries, finding a GBS colonization rate of 17.1% in pregnant women and 1.0% in newborns, with a 4.5% rate of vertical transmission.
- The study recommends giving antibiotics during labor to all women who test positive for GBS and those at risk of transmitting it to their infants, regardless of their GBS status.
