“…Only one study has examined the breast carriage rate in humans, finding an incidence of 3.5% in 1132 samples from lactating mothers 3. However, there have been several previous reports of transmission of GBS from mother to baby through breast milk, and recent cases have been confirmed using restriction fragment length polymorphism and pulsed field gel electrophoresis 4…”

Group B streptococcus is known to be a leading cause of neonatal infection, but less appreciated is the fact that it causes maternal infection also. Maternal group B streptococcal infections during pregnancy and delivery threaten not only the mother, but the child as well. Postpartum infection, such as mastitis, bacteremia, sepsis, meningitis, endometritis, and wound infections are hazards to the mother. We describe the various maternal group B streptococcal infections, their characteristics, associated neonatal morbidity, and prevention and treatment strategies during pregnancy, delivery, and in the postpartum period.

“…Low incidence is described in mothers of extremely preterm infants of 0.4% [31] and term infants of 0.82%. Higher incidence in raw milk ranged from 3.5% [30] to 10% [29] in donor breast milk. However, the concurrent incidence of GBS colonization in these mothers and the effect of intrapartum and postpartum antibiotic treatment were unknown.…”

HighlightsGBS has been implicated in late onset-disease cases associated with breast milk.Proposed mechanisms include transfer of bacteria from the colonization of the infant to the milk ducts during suckling.Serotype-specific IgA antibody to GBS in breast milk may provide additional protection from invasive GBS disease.Vaccination of mothers in pregnancy may enable higher GBS-antibody concentrations to pass in breast milk.
