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

Pediatric Annals, 1996Group B streptococcus is a significant pathogen for both mother and child. routine urine culture in pregnancy will identify and allow treatment of women with asymptomatic bacteriuria. An optimal protocol for the prevention of neonatal sepsis has not yet been developed.

Group B Streptococcus and Pregnancy
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1995EDITORIAL COMMENT: We have accepted this paper for publication as an Editorial because it is an overview of the experience from a centre with a longstanding interest in routine screening for Group B streptococcus in pregnancy. The fact remains that universal screening for Group B streptococcus during pregnancy is not routinely performed in many major

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1991
Although antepartum screening for Group B Streptococcus is not ideal, it may be the most practical approach until rapid tests are proven to be useful in this clinical setting. The efficacy has been established for intrapartum chemoprophylaxis with a penicillin antibiotic of patients with a positive antepartum culture.

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.

The Lancet, 1999
During the 1990s the focus of group B streptococcus (GBS) disease research has shifted to prevention. Increased use of intrapartum antimicrobial prophylaxis in North America and Australia has led to substantial declines in perinatal disease. Vaccine development (initiated two decades earlier) has yielded results--for example, polysaccharide-protein ...

Group B Streptococcus (Streptococcus agalactiae)
2018Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of early neonatal infection and neonatal mortality, with long-term adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in up to 50% of survivors of GBS meningitis. GBS has a likely underappreciated role in causing preterm birth and stillbirth.

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

Group B Streptococcus in a General Hospital
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1975Eighty-six percent of 707 beta-hemolytic streptococci isolated in a general hospital and excluded by presumptive tests from groups A and D were identified serologically as group B. More than 70% of the group B isolates were from urine cultures, the female genital gract, or newborn infants.

Group B Streptococcus Endocarditis With Endophthalmitis
Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 200542-year-old man presented with fever and altered mental status, and group B streptococcus (GBS) infective endocarditis was diagnosed. Examination of the right eye showed injection of the conjunctiva with corneal clouding and no light reflex. The patient had endophthalmitis due to manifestation of septic embolus and underwent enucleation of the right ...
