摘要
Group B streptococcus(GBS)is a leading cause of neonatal infection.Maternal vaginal-rectal colonization with GBS during the intrapartum period is a prerequisite for GBS early-onset disease(EOD).The obstetric measures for effective prevention of GBS EOD include universal prenatal screening by vaginal-rectal culture,correct specimen collection and processing,appropriate implementation of intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis,and coordination with pediatric care providers.It is now recommended to universal screen GBS between 36^(0/7)and 37^(6/7)weeks of gestation and to identify groups of women who are eligible for intravenous intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis as a means of preventing GBS EOD.
