The International Infections in Pregnancy Study: group B streptococcal colonization in pregnant women

Heavy colonization with group B streptococcus (GBS) has been associated with increased risk of preterm birth and neonatal sepsis; the burden of neonatal GBS disease varies geographically. To determine whether variation in heavy colonization and GBS serotypes could contribute to geographic differences in disease burden, we assessed the prevalence of heavy colonization and the distribution of serotypes in asymptomatic pregnant women in multiple countries

Heavy colonization with group B streptococcus (GBS) may place women at high risk of delivering preterm, low-birth- weight infants (10, 11, 15). Earlier recognition of such high-risk women would be useful for intervention strategies. Detection of heavy colonization has traditionally relied on culture meth- ods, which may not be feasible in some health care settings and require 1 to 3 days before results are available
