Group B streptococcus (GBS) is the most common cause of neonatal infection in North America and is associated with morbidity and mortality. Prompt recognition and treatment of the infection is imperative. Diagnostic tests and treatment options vary, without clear research-based recommendations. Future trends should focus on GBS infection as a public health issue, with an emphasis on prevention.
