Group B Streptococcus and pregnancy: a review
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2008In the 1960s, early onset neonatal sepsis caused by group B Streptococcus (GBS) had an attack rate of 2 per 1000 live births and a 50% fatality rate. Early treatment and then antibiotic prophylaxis were shown to reduce morbidity and mortality rates; however, GBS remains a leading cause of perinatal infection. This article will review our investigations

Group B Streptococcus and perinatal mortality
Research in Microbiology, 2017The World Health Organization estimates that every year, one million neonatal deaths occur because of neonatal infection. Furthermore, an equal number of stillbirths are thought to be caused by infections. Here we discuss the role of Streptococcus agalactiae (group B Streptococcus, GBS) in neonatal disease and stillbirth.

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.

Group B Streptococcus Infection in Pregnancy
Clinics in Perinatology, 2007Group B streptococcus (streptococcus agalactiae), a gram-positive coccus, is one of the major causes of maternal or neonatal severe infection and sepsis. Maternal infection associated with GBS includes acute chorioamnionitis, endometritis, and urinary tract infection.

Cerebritis Due to Group B Streptococcus
Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1982A premature infant who died of early-onset group B streptococcal meningitis was found to have cerebritis with direct bacterial infection of the basal ganglia. Although the organism was sensitive to penicillin by in vitro testing, it was not eradicated from the cerebrospinal fluid after 48 h of antibiotic treatment.

The Group B streptococcus has only recently been recognized as a cause of serious clinical disease, especially in infants under three months of age. These organisms are normally found in the female genital tract and also exist, at a lower rate, in male urethras.
