comparison of group b streptococcal colonization in the pregnant diabetic and non-diabetic women

Comparison of Group B Streptococcal Colonization in the Pregnant Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Women

To Compare colonization of group B streptococcus (GBS) in diabetic and non-diabetic pregnant women. In this prospective study 50 pregnant women with diabetes mellitus (both pregestational and gestational) and 43 pregnant women without diabetes between 33 and 37 weeks' gestation were evaluated. Three samples for Group B streptococcal culture detection were obtained from each subject in the follo...

The Prevalence of Group B Streptococcus Colonization in Iranian Pregnant Women and Its Subsequent Outcome

Relationship between Colonization of Group B Streptococcal (GBS) in the Reproductive System of Pregnant Women with PCR with Neonatal and Maternal Complications

Background and Aim: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a major contributor to maternal and neonatal death. GBS colonization in the mother can be transient or intermittent, which is why its examination during delivery is more valuable than screening at lower gestational age. The aim of this study was to compare the complications of premature delivery with term ones in positive cases of GBS by PCR me...

Genital tract group B streptococcal colonization in pregnant women: a South Indian perspective.

INTRODUCTION During the last few decades, group B Streptococcus (GBS) has emerged as an important pathogen. The major reservoirs for GBS are the vagina and the peri-anal regions/rectum, and the colonization of these regions is a risk factor for subsequent infection in pregnant women and newborns. METHODOLOGY A prospective study was performed to determine the prevalence of GBS colonization in ...

Frequency of Group B Streptococcal Colonization in Pregnant Women Aged 35-37 Weeks in Clinical Centers of Shahed University, Tehran, Iran

Background & Objectives: One of the important infectious factors in pregnant mothers and newborns is Group B Streptococcus (GBS). There is no perfect report about prevalence of GBS in Iran and in the case of preterm rupture of amniotic membrane or preterm labor all patients are treated by antibiotics without culture so this has led to adverse taking antibiotics and drug resistance. The...

Increasing prevalence of group B streptococcal infection among pregnant women.

INTRODUCTION Group B streptococci (GBS) can cause preterm delivery for women and sepsis and meningitis in infants younger than 90 days of age. The present retrospective cohort study determines the trend over time in the rates of GBS and in demographic risk factors for GBS among pregnant women delivering at Rigshospitalet (RH). MATERIAL AND METHODS In the period from 2002 to 2010, a total of 3...
