Background: Group B streptococcus (GBS) is an important cause of neonatal sepsis. Guidelines advise to collect cultures at 35–37 weeks’ gestation and to administer intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis in case of GBS-positive cultures, as well as in all preterm deliveries. Improved effectiveness of antenatal cultures might help to further decrease GBS early-onset disease. Objective: To determine the best timing of antenatal cultures, which may help establish optimal prevention of perinatal GBS… CONTINUE READING
