Clinical and laboratory features of group B Streptococcus meningitis in infants and newborns: Study of 848 cases in France, 2001–2014

Clinical Infectious Diseases Mar 09, 2018

Romain AS, et al. - Despite women receiving an intravenous antibiotic prophylaxis during labor, group B Streptococcus (GBS) disease is the leading cause of neonatal bacterial meningitis.

Data thereby highlight the significance of developing effective GBS vaccines for pregnant women.
