Screening and management of early onset group B streptococcus during labour

“…In the existing Cochrane review of five randomised controlled trials 4 (all of poor quality), IAP was found to decrease rates of culture‐proven early onset GBS neonatal sepsis from approximately 5% to 0.2% (a relative decrease of 83%, 95% CI 61–93%). As no trials have measured the effect of IAP on the incidence of neonatal sepsis as a whole (proven and presumed) or on neonatal death, it is not possible to accurately quantify the effectiveness of IAP at decreasing the incidence of early onset GBS sepsis, and although it is very likely that IAP is effective at preventing early onset GBS sepsis, recent evidence suggests that the magnitude of its effectiveness is overestimated 5 …”

Asymptomatic Bacteriuria in Pregnant Women in Jeddah, Western Region of Saudi Arabia: Call for Assessment

“…GBS bacteriuria may be associated with preterm rupture of membranes, premature delivery, and early onset neonatal sepsis. Thus, all pregnant women with these bacteria during gestation should receive treatment at the time of diagnosis, as well as intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis [2,30] . The 19.9% of mixed bacterial growth reported in this study was similar to that reported from Malaysia (17.2%) [14] and less than 25.5% reported by Amadi et al from Nigeria [25] .…”
