[Incidence of B streptococci in gynecologic patients, pregnant patients and newborn infants].

821 patients have been examined with regard to the presence of B streptococci. We isolated B streptococci in 5.4 per cent in gynaecologic outpatients, in 0.4 per cent in 236 pregnant women and in 5.8 per cent in 156 newborns. From 78 to these newborns we were able to examine the mothers during their stay in the delivery room, too. Only in one parturient and her newborn we could detect B streptococci. In three B streptococci positive newborns is was not possible to prove this germ in the vaginal content of their mothers. Clinical symptoms were not present in no case. Antibiograms were not peculiar.
