Group B streptococcus. Is it time for a screening program?

B A Paes1.   

Abstract

Group B streptococcal infection often causes perinatal sepsis. Early diagnosis is based on a high index of suspicion and laboratory tests. Proposed interventions targeted at the antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum periods have met with limited success. Screening has not been widely adopted.
