Infection (2 Biomarkers)

Group B Streptococcus is a type of bacteria that is very common – up to 2 in 5 people have it living in their body, usually in the rectum or vagina. The bacteria is common in pregnant women and rarely causes any problems. However, there is a risk that it passes to the baby in pregnancy or during delivery which could make them ill. A positive test result may lead to antibiotics being administered during delivery to protect the baby if the mother is considered to be in a high-risk group.
