Although GBS colonization usually  does not cause problems in healthy women before  pregnancy, it can lead to serious illness for the  mother and newborn. GBS-colonized mothers are at risk  for chorioamnionitis, endometritis and postpartum  infection. Moreover, GBS carriage is associated with  adverse pregnancy outcomes such as stillbirth,  preterm delivery and premature rupture of the  membrane. Newborns who are infected with GBS may  develop neonatal sepsis and meningitis. Invasive GBS  infection is associated with significant morbidity  and mortality among pregnant women and their neonates  through the world. Thus, identification of  GBS-colonized women is critical for prevention of  neonatal GBS infection. According to the prevention  guidelines, universal prenatal screening tests for  identification of GBS carrier mothers are advised.  This study investigated the prevalence of GBS in  pregnant women and evaluated the PCR assay for  detection of the GBS in comparison with a specific  culture method.This provides a rapid and precise  technique for GBS diagnosis during labor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783844387346\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Prevalence of Vaginal Colonization by Group B Streptococcus in Pregnant Women using Molecular and Microbiological Diagnostic Techniques\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783844387346","offer_id":39471219671133,"sku":"9783844387346","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/3aa4395e-47c0-431c-b8b6-58f8df4460d0.jpg?v=1759208205","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/group-b-streptococcus-and-pregnancy-von-farnaz-fatemi","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
