Abstract

Group B Streptococcus (GBS) disease in neonates occurs in two forms: early-onset disease (EOD), (day 0-6), and late-onset disease (LOD), (day 7-90). This review investigates that risk-based intrapartum screening and antibiotics have reduced the incidence of EOD, but not LOD, in Denmark. No clinical or laboratory tests can rule out GBS disease at symptom onset. Thus, a high proportion of uninfected infants receive antibiotics, although this varies widely, and may be reduced by strategies of antibiotic stewardship. A future GBS vaccine for pregnant women may potentially reduce disease burden and antibiotic exposure.
