Group B Strep presents a real danger to newborns. First, newborns can acquire the infection if the bacteria is transmitted from the mother. If the infection in the newborn is not resolved immediately it can quickly develop into sepsis, pneumonia or meningitis. The long term consequences, even for those babies who survive, include life long severe disabilities. Given the risk and the severity of the resulting harm that can occur the protocols regarding Group B Strep and babies are quite clear.Administering antibiotics during labor substantially reduces the likelihood that the mother with the Group B Strep bacteria will transfer it to her baby. Given the risk to newborns most physicians agree that antibiotics should be administered to all pregnant women who have a history of the bacteria earlier in the pregnancy or a prior pregnancy. They also generally agree that all other pregnant women should generally be screened for the presence of the bacteria between weeks thirty five and thirty seven of the pregnancy even if they have no symptoms. The test is normally performed with a swab and the samples are processed in a laboratory in an enriched culture medium. The results of the...more

If a baby with a GBS infection is not treated or improperly treated the newborn could be left with lifelong severe disabilities. Such an infection in a baby can become pneumonia, sepsis, or meningitis. Given a newborn's undeveloped immune system this can bring about such permanent disabilities as cerebral palsy, seizure disorders, brain damage, cognitive and motor retardation. It can even lead to the death of the baby. It is therefore critical that doctors quickly diagnose a newborn with symptoms of infection and administer antibiotics immediately.Consider a published case where antibiotics for GBS were intravenously administered to an expectant mother while she was in labor. This is common procedure for women with a history of Group B Strep colonization during the pregnancy, a previous pregnancy, or if screened during weeks 35 through 37 of the current pregnancy. Still, even with this prophylactic use of antibiotics while the mother was in labor, it is nevertheless possible that the infant will acquire Group B Strep. Her newborn appeared healthy at birth. Bur, six weeks after birth the baby developed symptoms of infection. The mother took the child to a pediatrician who observed...more
