    Author: Foxman B, de Azevedo CL, Buxton M, DeBusscher J, Pillai P, De Carvalho NS, Barbosa-Cesnik C.
    Journal: J Infect Dis; 2008 Nov 01; 198(9):1375-8. PubMed ID: 18774883.
    Abstract:
    Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a major cause of neonatal sepsis and meningitis. We followed up 78 pregnant couples for < or =2 months to estimate the risk of GBS transmission. Among couples with discordant GBS status, we observed 1 male-to-female transmission event (1 of 3 couples in which the woman was GBS negative at enrollment), but no female-to-male transmission events (0 of 8 couples in which the man was GBS negative at enrollment).
