  • Title: Community acquisition of group B Streptococcus by infants of colonized mothers.
    Author: Gardner SE, Mason EO, Yow MD.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 1980 Dec; 66(6):873-5. PubMed ID: 7005854.
    Abstract:
    Forty-six infants of women known to be colonized by group B Streptococcus (GBS) during the third trimester of pregnancy were not colonized by GBS at the time of discharge from the hospital nursery. At 6 to 8 weeks of age, two of these infants (4.3%) were found to harbor GBS. The rate of community acquisition of GBS by uncolonized infants appears to be low.
