Group B Streptococcus and Pregnancy Description
|
|
Group B streptococcus (GBS) is a type of bacteria that can be found in 10-30% of pregnant women. A woman with GBS can pass it to her baby during delivery. Most babies who get GBS from their mothers do not have any problems. A few, however, will become sick. This can cause major health problems or even threaten their lives. This pamphlet explains:
- How GBS may affect a newborn
- How to test for GBS
- How it can be treated
