Deskripsi
BACKGROUND: Genital group B streptococcus (GBS) may be transmitted from a colonized mother to her infant if appropriate intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis is not given. A recent case of GBS neonatal sepsis occurred due to an erythromycin-intermediate strain after empirical use of this drug as intrapartum prophylaxis.
