Group B Streptococcus in Pregnancy
Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America, 2023To decrease risk of early-onset neonatal sepsis from group B streptococcus (GBS), pregnant patients should undergo screening between 36 0/7 and 37 6/7 weeks' gestation. Patients with a positive vaginal-rectal culture, GBS bacteriuria , or history of newborn with GBS disease should receive intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP) with an agent targeting

Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, 1986
Over the past 25 years group B streptococci have become established as one of the main bacterial pathogens of the neonate in Western Europe and the United States. The attack rate of 0.25/1,000 live births found by Mayon White in Great Britain1 appears typical of many European countries.

Multiantennary group-specific polysaccharide of group B streptococcus
Biochemistry, 1988The group-specific antigen of group B Streptococcus is composed of four different oligosaccharide units of Mw 766 (III), 1277 (II), 1462 (IV), and 1788 (I). The major constituent sugars of the oligosaccharides are alpha-L-rhamnopyranose, alpha-D-galactopyranose, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl, and D-glucitol except that III does not contain ...

For three decades, group B streptococcus (GBS) has been the most common cause of bacterial sepsis and meningitis in neonates in the United States (1,2). Prior to 1996, when guidelines for intrapartum antibiotics to prevent early GBS disease in neonates were first published, there were approx 7500 cases of neonatal disease yearly in the United States ...

Molecular epidemiology of Streptococcus Agalactiae Group B Streptococcus
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2003Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a common cause of sepsis and meningitis in newborns, and causes disease in pregnant women and non-pregnant adults. The incidence of disease among non-pregnant adults, particularly those with underlying conditions, is increasing. In addition, many individuals are asymptomatically colonized with GBS.

Balanitis Caused by Group B Streptococcus
Journal of Urology, 1986The Lancefield group B streptococcus is a cause of serious genitourinary tract infections in peripartum women. However, it rarely has been implicated as a pathogen in genital infections of male subjects. We report severe recurrent balanitis owing to group B streptococcus in a sexually active young man. Group B streptococcus was cultured from the vagina
