PY - 2018 T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - Group B Streptococcus has been a common cause of invasive infection in neonates and young infants for several decades. Group B Streptococcus also is an important cause of maternal obstetrical morbidity and fetal loss. The incidence of early-onset group B streptococcal neonatal infections has declined 85% in the United States in association with universal culture-based screening of pregnant women and administration of intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis to women colonized with group B Streptococcus.
