[Bacteriological studies of materno-fetal infections caused by group B Streptococcus]
A screening, that we have carried out on pregnant women, has allowed to isolate 33 strains of group B Streptococci (19.8%) on the vervical -vaginal mucous membrane. The newborn's colonization was of 20%. No infectious disease was observed in the newborn. The simplicity and the practicability of the methodology are an useful contribution to the prevention of these possible maternal-foetal diseases.
