- W2068044913 abstract "Group B streptococci (GBS) are an important cause of neonatal sepsis and meningitis, and maternal infection. Although the pathogenesis of GBS infection is not well understood, several virulence factors have been identified. Two prevention strategies have been proposed: chemoprophylaxis and immunoprophylaxis. Implementation of selective intrapartum chemoprophylaxis on the basis of either screening or risk assessment has led to a substantial decrease in the morbidity and mortality of GBS disease in both mothers and infants. Penicillin remains the antibiotic of choice with no reported resistant GBS so far, whereas resistance of 10-20% of GBS to erythromycin and clindamycin has been reported in North America. Chemoprophylaxis based on screening requires optimal detection methods for GBS, which involve selective broth culture of combined vaginal and anal samples. Other conventional methods are useful for rapid identification of heavily colonised women, but are unreliable for the detection of light GBS colonisation because of poor sensitivity. GBS-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays using real-time PCR coupled with fluorescence-labelling technology offer powerful tools for sensitive and specific, yet rapid (less than 1 h), detection of GBS directly from clinical specimens at the time of delivery. The application of these assays to the current prevention strategies will simplify the prevention practice and rationalise the use of antibiotics. Immunoprophylaxis relies on the development of new vaccines against GBS, and active research is being conducted in this area." @default.
