Group B streptococcus (GBS) is found in up to 35% of healthy women’s reproductive or gastrointestinal tracts. Pregnant women colonized with GBS can transmit the bacteria to their newborns during birth, leading to neonatal sepsis, meningitis, and other complications. GBS is also linked to maternal sepsis, stillbirths, preterm births, and can affect immunocompromised adults and the elderly. However, the highest incidence occurs in neonates and infants up to 3 months. Screening and understanding GBS infections’ clinical presentations and treatments are essential.
