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).
B族链球菌(GBS)是新生儿败血症和脑膜炎的主要病因。我们对78对孕妇夫妇进行了为期≤2个月的随访,以评估GBS传播风险。在GBS状态不一致的夫妇中,我们观察到1例男性向女性的传播事件(在3对女性入组时GBS阴性的夫妇中有1例),但未观察到女性向男性的传播事件(在8对男性入组时GBS阴性的夫妇中有0例)。
