Overview
In the 1970s, the bacterium group B Streptococcus (GBS) emerged as the leading infectious cause of early neonatal morbidity and mortality in the United States.[1][2][3][4] Beginning in the mid 1980s, clinical trials and well-designed observational studies demonstrated that administering intravenous antibiotics during labor to women at risk for transmitting GBS to their newborns could prevent invasive disease in the first week of life (i.e., early-onset disease).[5][6][7][8][9] As a result of the collaborative efforts of clinicians, researchers, professional organizations, parent advocacy groups, and the public health community in the 1990s, recommendations for intrapartum prophylaxis to prevent perinatal GBS disease were issued in 1996 by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)[10] and CDC[11] and in 1997 by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).[12] Revised guidelines for the prevention of early-onset GBS disease issued in 2002 recommended universal culture-based screening of all pregnant women at 35--37 weeks' gestation to optimize the identification of women who should receive intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis[13]. The most recent CDC guidelines were published in 2010. [14]
