Group B streptococcus: Beyond pregnancy and neonatal infections.
- Authors
Moore, Nicholas M.
- Abstract
The article focuses on Group B Streptococcus (GBS) and its impact beyond pregnancy and neonatal infections. It mentions the history and identification of GBS, its epidemiology, manifestations in pregnant women, neonates, and nonpregnant individuals, and laboratory surveillance methods. It reports that GBS infections have seen an increase in recent years, and while screening and intervention have reduced mortality rates, the disease remains a significant concern, particularly in neonates.
