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.

Twelve studies were ultimately included.
