Home call service: YesGroup B streptococci are part of the normal microflora of the female genital tract, the upper respiratory tract, and the lower part of the digestive system.
Vaginal colonies show contamination from the rectum. Gastrointestinal tract is the main reservoir of streptococcus. Such colonies are asymptomatic or proceed in the form of vaginitis, which will pass after treatment.
Transmission from mother to newborn occurs vertically - during childbirth, especially during premature rupture of membranes (18 hours and more before delivery), fever during childbirth and premature delivery (up to 37 weeks).
Group B streptococcus in newborns causes two types of infection: early and late.
Early infection begins within the first hours of birth or within 7 days of birth and presents with septicemia and meningitis and pneumonia.
Later infection takes place from the 7th day to 3 months after birth, most often manifests in the form of meningitis.
Early detection of group B streptococcus can be done by examining vaginal smears. If necessary, antibiotic therapy is prescribed during pregnancy.
Study material: Recto/vaginal smear.

Treatment
Group B streptococcal infection is treated with intravenous antibiotic therapy, with antibiotics of the penicillin group, the dosage and duration of which is decided by the attending physician.
Late manifestation of group B streptococcal infection in newborns
Unfortunately, antibiotic therapy started during pregnancy or during childbirth sometimes does not give proper results and the newborn develops symptoms of streptococcal infection later. The disease begins with a sharp rise in temperature, vomiting, and withholding food.
Group B streptococcal infection cannot be completely prevented, however, with early detection and timely treatment, the risk of complications is lower.
