Abstract:
Group B streptococci are considered an important etiological agent of sepsis and meningitis in neonates and, particularly, in premature infants. There is a close correlation between colonization with these bacteria and the frequency of symptomatic infection. It is estimated that symptomatic infections occur in 1.0% of colonised neonates. The purpose of this work was to investigate the frequency of neonate colonization with group B streptococci for determination of the risk of symptomatic infection.
