摘要
This study evaluated the application of the French guidelines for prevention of neonatal group B streptococcus (GBS) infections. The prevalence of GBS vaginal carriage by pregnant women during the study period was 6%. Less than 50% of pregnant women testing positive for GBS were treated with at least two doses of antibiotics during labour, and most received only one dose or no antibiotics. In addition, several neonates were colonised or infected by GBS although their mothers were GBS-negative. These results are consistent with vaginal screening having a poor sensitivity, as suggested by the low prevalence of GBS carriage.
