- Abstract
Gopal Rao et al. reports that in a community in London, UK, antenatal group B streptococcus (GBS) colonisation is influenced by maternal race, being higher among women of black African origin (39.5%) and lowest in women of south Asian origin (23.3%), as compared with British women (27.4%) ( I BJOG i 2019;126:1347-53). In addition, this study found that higher GBS carriage rate is also associated with higher parity as well as higher body mass index (BMI).
