BJOG 2014; In: Molina J, 1083 This free mobile app allows obstetric providers to easily access patient- and scenario-specific GBS guidance from anywhere and at any time. Preterm neonates with GBS EOD are more likely to experience apnea, require blood pressure support, and need neonatal intensive care 21. Harrison LH, 85: Total enteral or parenteral nutrition as necessary, physical therapy, cardiac monitoring, and close observation for infection are important to reduce complications. One prospective cohort study evaluated the effect of membrane stripping at term in 135 women colonized with GBS and 361 women who had negative GBS vaginalrectal cultures 133.

In a 2013 study with 158 participants, 42 percent of the women who had GBS in one pregnancy had it in a subsequent one. Schrag S. Giovangrandi Y, 12. However, there are no data to suggest that artificial rupture of membranes increases the risk of neonatal disease when appropriate intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis is given and, therefore, amniotomy is reasonable to perform if clinically indicated. Philadelphia, PA: Elsevier; 2020:chap 48. Rhee JS, Colicchia LC, The patient and family are also taught the skills required for home care or are referred for instruction.

However, it is to be reinforced that any GBS colony count, even one less than 105 CFU/mL which would not require antepartum treatment in an asymptomatic woman, still indicates a higher level of anogenital colonization and is established as an indication for antibiotic prophylaxis in the intrapartum period 70. Wehmanen OA, Infection generally occurs as a baby travels through the birth canal, so if your water has not ruptured and you are not in labor, your doctor may not give treatment for GBS. 960 J Infect 1988; Brunton LL, If you have questions about your results or your baby's results, talk to your health care provider. 52: Patient self-collection of group B streptococcal specimens during pregnancy. Schrag S. Therefore, GBS remains highly susceptible to cefazolin 91 92 93, which has pharmacokinetic properties similar to penicillin and achieves high intraamniotic and fetal blood levels 94 95 96. Individuals with a history of any of the following after administration of a penicillin: 6. Thus, the CDC first recommended universal antepartum culture-based screening of all pregnant women in the 2002 perinatal GBS guidelines 36, and universal antepartum culture-based screening continues to be the current standard.

None of the 47 women whose penicillin allergy skin test results were negative and who received penicillin in labor had an adverse reaction 100. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all women whohave risk factors PRIOR to being screened for GBS (for example, womenwho have preterm labor beginning before completing 37 gestational weeks)are treated with IV antibiotics until their GBS status is established. To prevent aspiration, the head of the bed is elevated and the gag reflex tested before oral intake. Include the condition being treated and document that it is not affecting the pregnancy. Culver A, Hnat MD, 080. e0145905. Current ACOG guidelines recommend proceeding to delivery if PPROM occurs at or beyond 34 0/7 weeks of gestation 78. Such testing performed prenatally will simplify the approach to intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis for women colonized with GBS. If the result of a point-of-care nucleic acid amplification test is positive for GBS, or if a woman in labor with unknown GBS status had GBS colonization in a previous pregnancy, intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis should be administered. Morup L, F (38 Mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance in Gram-negative bacilli. CDC twenty four seven. Table 1 , A recent systematic review of studies published worldwide reported an increase in the risk of preterm birth in pregnant women with GBS colonization, which was stronger in casecontrol studies compared with cohort or cross-sectional studies 13. Geneva (SUI): World Health Organization; c2010.

Effectiveness of intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis for prevention of early-onset group B streptococcal disease. Because of the proven risks of inappropriate or indiscriminate use of vancomycin, the role of health care providers in fostering the acceptance of antibiotic stewardship in general, and surrounding this drug specifically, is critical 112. An algorithm for management of women with preterm labor is outlined in Red man syndrome: incidence, etiology, and prophylaxis. Oostvogel PM, While GBS may live in the reproductive tract (among other places), its not a sexually transmitted disease (STD). 983 See permissionsforcopyrightquestions and/or permission requests. It includes expanded recommendations regarding management and treatment of women with a penicillin allergy, including a recommendation that laboratory requisitions for GBS cultures note a penicillin allergy in the patient, when present, to ensure that the specimen is tested for clindamycin susceptibility. 36. Prolonged rupture of membranes refers to a rupture of membranes lasting longer than 18-24 hours (i.e. Church DL, Rybak MJ. Heath PT. Currently, culture-based testing remains the standard for maternal antepartum GBS screening. Zaoutis TE. Most pregnant women who carry GBS do not have symptoms, and their babies develop normally.

Why is group B streptococcus a concern for pregnant women? I. Epidemiologic rationale. If NAAT results are obtained for an intrapartum patient with unknown GBS status, ACOG recommends that patients receive antibiotic prophylaxis if they have a positive GBS NAAT result or a negative GBS NAAT result with risk factors of gestational age less than 37 weeks, rupture of membranes longer than 18 hours, or maternal fever. Giovangrandi Y, Holmes AH, Variations in practice may be warranted when, in the reasonable judgment of the treating clinician, such course of action is indicated by the condition of the patient, limitations of available resources, or advances in knowledge or technology. 480 Spina NL, 30. https://neonatalsepsiscalculator.kaiserpermanente.org/, https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/144/2/e20191881, https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/144/4/e20192350. JAMA 2001; A negative GBS culture is considered valid for 5 weeks. A study using a cohort of 7,691 births compared the clinical effectiveness of beta-lactam prophylaxis when administered at intervals of 1) less than 2 hours, 2) 2 hours to less than 4 hours, and 3) 4 hours or more before birth and found the highest effectiveness to be associated with maternal antibiotic prophylaxis initiated 4 hours or more before birth 126. Maternal antibiotic treatment temporarily decreases vaginal GBS colonization, preventing newborn surface and mucous membrane colonization during birth. Universal prenatal, culture-based screening for maternal GBS colonization and intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis together currently constitutes the most effective strategy for reducing perinatal morbidity and mortality secondary to GBS. J Coll Physicians Surg Pak 2003; Babies may experience early or late-onset of GBS. et al. Paediatric and neonatal blood sampling; [cited 2019 Nov 15]; [about 3 screens].

Blazquez R, Sepehri S, 417 Intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis to reduce the risk of GBS EOD is based on a two-pronged approach: 1) decreasing the incidence of neonatal GBS colonization, which requires adequate maternal drug levels, and 2) reducing the risk of neonatal sepsis, which requires adequate antibiotic levels in the fetus and newborn. Weeks JW, Dinsmoor MJ, et al. Siddiqui S, 428 If intraamniotic infection is suspected, broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy that provides coverage for polymicrobial infections as well as GBS should replace the antibiotic that provides coverage for GBS prophylaxis specifically. Other Because of these concerns, a more recent study compared the current standard intrapartum vancomycin dosage of 1 g every 12 hours to weight-based protocols of 15 mg/kg every 12 hours and 20 mg/kg every 8 hours, with a maximum individual dose of 2 gm 106. use the acronym C.O.A.T.

Editor's Note: In February 2020, ACOG published a Committee Opinion on the Prevention of GBS Early-Onset Disease in Newborns that reported that GBS nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) can have a false-negative rate of 7% to 10%; therefore, ACOG recommends against routine use of this test. CDC is not responsible for Section 508 compliance (accessibility) on other federal or private website. But you still should be tested during pregnancy because you may go into labor before your scheduled C-section. Group B streptococci cultured in urine during pregnancy associated with preterm delivery: a selection problem? Wi S, This recommendation to administer antibiotics based on intrapartum risk factors would supersede negative NAAT results because intrapartum NAAT results are not 100% sensitive for the detection of GBS 55. GBS disease is the most common cause of newborn early-onset sepsis and a significant cause of late-onset sepsis in infants. Fridkin SK, Group B streptococcal; Group B streptococcus.

WebMost babies born to women carrying group B strep are healthy. Thirty-nine percent of laboratories used NAAT for antepartum screening only, 22% for intrapartum only, and 17% for both, with 21% not specifying their use context 51. As a result, the risk of GBS EOD in the neonate is likely to be increased 77. who report a penicillin allergy, particularly those that are suggestive of being IgE mediated, or of unknown severity, or both. Your baby may be at increased risk for GBS if: If you had a GBS infection in one pregnancy, you have a good chance of having it in another. Castor ML, 199. In addition, there is no evidence that prenatal treatment of asymptomatic women with GBS bacteriuria less than 105 CFU/mL provides better maternal or neonatal outcomes. Strep B, also known as group B strep (GBS), is a type of bacteria commonly found in the digestive tract, urinary tract, and genital area. J Clin Microbiol 2017; Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis 2018. Not every baby who is born to a mother who tests positive for GBS will becomeill. Recchia S, If you are GBS positive, labor has begun and/or your water has broken, most health care providers will still require youto be treated for GBS even if you are having a cesarean delivery. Late-onset disease is primarily acquired by horizontal transmission from the mother, but also can be acquired from hospital sources or from individuals in the community 17. Centers with this capability may use rapid, point-of-care testing for women who present in labor with unknown GBS status and no additional risk factors for intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis 60. 142: Complete implementation of this strategy will significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with GBS EOD but will not eliminate all cases. A negative GBS culture is considered valid for 5 weeks. The Active Surveillance Study Group. 1075 Obstetric interventions, when necessary, should not be delayed solely to provide 4 hours of antibiotic administration before birth.

Stoffman J, While ACOG makes every effort to present accurate and reliable information, this publication is provided "as is" without any warranty of accuracy, reliability, or otherwise, either express or implied. If preterm labor progresses, intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis for GBS should be continued during labor. Available from: Lab Tests Online [Internet]. Retrospective casecontrol studies evaluating the effect of frequent vaginal examinations during labor in women colonized with GBS have shown conflicting results with regard to the effect on GBS EOD even after controlling for additional risk factors. Postponing techniques of augmentation, either artificial rupture of membranes or administration of oxytocin, until 4 hours of antibiotic administration can be assured before birth can be individualized, weighing the possible adverse effects associated with prolonged labor against the possible effects of inadequate intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis for the neonate. This Committee Opinion serves as an update to and replacement of the obstetric components of CDCs 2010 GBS guidelines. Other suggested alternatives to intrapartum antibiotics for GBS prophylaxis, specifically vaginal washing with chlorhexidine during labor, have not decreased rates of neonatal sepsis, according to meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials 34. Although current evidence is limited, membrane sweeping does not appear to be associated with adverse outcomes in women colonized with GBS. Pediatr Infect Dis J 1994; WebGroup B Streptococcus (also known as group B strep or GBS) is a common bacterium found in the rectum, digestive tract, and urinary tract of men and women. 23: 90: 77: If the patient remains pregnant 5 or more weeks after a negative baseline GBS test, then GBS screening should be repeated if a recurrent episode of preterm labor occurs at or 36 0/737 6/7 weeks of gestation. Average incidence of late-onset GBS disease did not change from 2006 to 2015, demonstrating that maternal colonization at birth is less responsible for late-onset GBS.

During any trimester, GBS isolated in clean-catch urine specimens at any colony count is considered a surrogate for heavy vaginalrectal colonization. 198 Verani JR. The demonstrated reduced effectiveness of shorter durations of intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (less than 4 hours before birth) emphasizes the importance of initiating prophylaxis promptly to maximize the ability to achieve the optimal antibiotic treatment window of at least 4 hours before birth 126 129. It includes the following steps. The American Academy of Pediatrics has published clinical recommendations that guide care of term and preterm newborns at risk of sepsis 5 6. If the inspiratory force, vital capacity, or arterial blood gases deteriorate respiratory support is provided. *If a patient has undergone vaginalrectal GBS screening culture within the preceding 5 weeks, the results of that culture should guide management. The key obstetric measures necessary for effective prevention of GBS EOD continue to include universal prenatal screening by vaginalrectal culture, correct specimen collection and processing, appropriate implementation of intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis, and coordination with pediatric care providers. With this increased risk, it is reasonable to offer intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis based on the womans history of colonization. Division of Bacterial Diseases, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). An algorithm for the management of women with PPROM is outlined in Late-onset GBS can also cause discrete infections, including pneumonia, bone or joint infections, cellulitis, and adenitis. 9. Perm J 2017; Antenatal and intrapartum nucleic acid amplification test use for group B Streptococcus screeningUnited States, 2016 [preprint]. The risk of sickness or death from a GBS infection, although exceedingly rare, is much higher in newborns and infants. J Trop Pediatr 2018; Gonzalez JL. There are no data to suggest that intrauterine monitoring increases the risk of neonatal disease when appropriate intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis is given, and GBS colonization should not be considered a contraindication to obstetrically indicated intrauterine monitoring, either of fetal heart rate or of contractions. Dorr PJ, They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. Two distinct clinical syndromes of invasive GBS disease in the newborn exist. You are more likely to pass the GBS bacteria to your baby if: When you are 35 to 37 weeks pregnant, your doctor may do a test for GBS. Paton JB, a history suggestive of an IgE-mediated event: pruritic rash, urticaria (hives), immediate flushing, hypotension, angioedema, respiratory distress or anaphylaxis; recurrent reactions, reactions to multiple beta-lactam antibiotics, or positive penicillin Hacker MR. 2669 Yancey MK, So a pregnant woman who is infected can pass the bacteria to her baby during labor and delivery. Available from: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [Internet]. Azimi PH, Based on most recent evidence, the recommended dosage of vancomycin for intrapartum GBS prophylaxis is weight-based: 20 mg/kg intravenously every 8 hours, with a maximum of 2 gm per single dose. Apuzzio JJ. Christensen P, Indications for Intrapartum Antibiotic Prophylaxis to Prevent Neonatal Group B Streptococcal Early-Onset Disease, Table 2. Also, hypoglycemia should not be considered a sign of early-onset GBS disease. 9. 48: Alvarez JR, Seale AC, Lanari M, In women who report an allergy to penicillin, the choice of the initial intravenous antibiotic given for GBS prophylaxis will be guided by two factors 1) the womans history of the penicillin allergy to determine if she is at a low risk or high risk of anaphylaxis Table 2 72 73 74 and 2) antibiotic susceptibility results of the GBS culture, if available. Diagnostic accuracy of a rapid real-time polymerase chain reaction assay for universal intrapartum group B streptococcus screening. Kauppila J, Briody VA, Shah VS, Identification of asymptomatic bacteriuria with GBS during pregnancy at a level less than 105 CFU/mL does not require maternal antibiotic therapy during the antepartum period but is an indication for intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis at the time of birth Table 1. Multivariate risk assessment uses an infant's risk factors and clinical condition to estimate that infant's risk. 22. Bawdon RE, Am J Health Syst Pharm 2009; We take your privacy seriously. Petri WAJr. Centelles-Serrano MJ, Oszukowski P, Bacteremia was found in 93% of infants diagnosed with late-onset GBS disease, and meningitis was diagnosed in 31%. 60. Weintraub AY, Screening for GBS is not routinely offered to all Mayo Clin Proc 1999; Citation, DOI, disclosures and article data. Balloon catheter placement theoretically could increase bacterial seeding and the risk of neonatal GBS EOD. Zafarmand MH, Group B streptococcus (GBS) is a bacterium that can cause serious infections in pregnant people, newborn babies, and infants less than age three months. GBS. Women who were GBS colonized during a previous pregnancy have a 50% likelihood of GBS carriage in the current pregnancy (pooled fixed effects [OR, 6.05; 95% CI, 4.847.55]) 63. Thus, the benefit of intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis for prevention of GBS EOD greatly outweighs the risks to the woman and her fetus related to a potential maternal allergic reaction to beta-lactam antibiotics administered during labor. Krohn MA, This was a small-scale study. De Gagne P, JAMA 2019; Robinson A. WebGroup B Strep (GBS) Protect Babies Group B Streptococcus (group B strep, GBS) can cause serious illness in people of all ages, but especially newborns. In an earlier version of the GBS prophylaxis guidelines, erythromycin and clindamycin were listed as alternative therapies for use in women at high risk of anaphylaxis to penicillin 36. et al. 72; discussion 1273. 4. Preterm birth, positive maternal GBS screening at delivery, and positive maternal screening at diagnosis of late-onset disease are all strongly associated with late-onset GBS disease. Influence of pregnancy on ceftriaxone, cefazolin and gentamicin pharmacokinetics in caesarean vs. non-pregnant sectioned women. e20182896. et al. Popovic J, WebGlossary Common Terms and Abbreviations Used in Obstetrics LMP = Last Menstrual Period. 4. Durand-Zaleski I, Your baby may feel a little sting when the needle goes in or out. Friedman SE, Hof MH, The primary risk factor for neo-natal GBS EOD is maternal colonization of the genitourinary and gastrointestinal tracts. After your baby is born, GBS can lead to infections in: Most babies who get GBS will start having problems during their first week of life. It's also more effective to take antibiotics through your vein, rather than by mouth. However, for women with PPROM who also are colonized with GBS, the potential additional neonatal risks associated with prolonged expectant management should be discussed and the reasons for discouraging such management reviewed. Howard BC, Zazulak J, If a woman with preterm labor has or is suspected of having intraamniotic infection, administration of broad-spectrum intrapartum antibiotics, including an agent that provides antimicrobial coverage against GBS, is recommended 75. Pataracchia M, If a patient with preterm labor is entering true labor and had a negative GBS culture more than 5 weeks previously, she should be rescreened and treated according to this algorithm at that time. Martinez J, *If a patient has undergone vaginalrectal GBS culture within the preceding 5 weeks, the results of that culture should guide management. Older studies found that 810% of individuals with a penicillin allergy also have significant allergic reactions to cephalosporins 86 89. 87: 229.e1 276-management of group B streptococcal bacteriuria in pregnancy. is also a founding member of Hi-Ethics. 6. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has neither solicited nor accepted any commercial involvement in the development of the content of this published product. 37. Schrag SJ, This strategy results in empiric treatment of many infants at relatively low risk. Foster GA, Most of the time, GBS is harmless. 10.1080/14767058.2018.1459552. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2007; DeMuri GP, Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand 2006; Group B strep (GBS) bacteria commonly live in peoples bodies and usually are not harmful. The syndrome may produce only limited muscle weakness or complete paralysis, followed by general recovery or partial recovery with residual weakness in the extremities. The swab will be tested for GBS. Anderson BL, Note: Strep throat is caused by a different bacterium. Persistent mucosal colonization and poor neonatal antibody responses to the first infection can lead to recurrent GBS infection. 623 Obstet Gynecol 2019; Infect Dis Ther 2017; Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol 2018; Brenner RA, Our experts continually monitor the health and wellness space, and we update our articles when new information becomes available. Tency I, 50 Dorr PJ. Modified from Verani JR, McGee L, Schrag SJ. Yes. Lang DM, 9. Harding GK. Is this patient allergic to penicillin? Box 2. URAC's accreditation program is an independent audit to verify that A.D.A.M. et al. Foxworth JW. Yes, Recommendations based on patient-oriented outcomes? Treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria, which is defined as 105 colony forming units (CFU)/mL or more, 65 has been shown to reduce the risks of pyelonephritis, birth weight less than 2,500 grams, and preterm birth (less than 37 weeks of gestation) 65 66. Early-onset GBS disease is defined as isolation of GBS from a normally sterile site within six days of birth, although it typically presents by 12 to 24 hours after delivery. This information should not be considered as inclusive of all proper treatments or methods of care or as a statement of the standard of care. Raglan GB, 345: Whether its itching, smelling differently, or just off it's okay. These recommendations also include consideration of penicillin allergy testing for all patients with a history of a penicillin 20. Dekker FW, Although a shorter duration of recommended intrapartum antibiotics is less effective than 4 or more hours of prophylaxis, 2 hours of antibiotic exposure has been shown to reduce GBS vaginal colony counts and decrease the frequency of a clinical neonatal sepsis diagnosis. Hansen KB. At-risk women include those who present in labor with a substantial risk of preterm birth, who have preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) or rupture of membranes for 18 or more hours at term, or who present with intrapartum fever (temperature 100.4F [38C] or higher). Predictive value of prenatal cultures. If a woman presents in labor at term with unknown GBS colonization status and does not have risk factors that are an indication for intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis but reports a known history of GBS colonization in a previous pregnancy, a higher risk of recurrence of GBS colonization has been demonstrated (50.2% compared with 14.1% if GBS negative in the previous pregnancy [OR, 6.05; 95% CI, 4.847.55]) 63. The epidemiology of group B streptococcal colonization in pregnancy. Drug allergy: an updated practice parameter. Late-onset GBS disease is defined as identification of GBS from a normally sterile site within one week to less than three months of age. 32: 9. Vote. https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/GBS, [Georges Guillain, Fr. If the GBS culture was negative and preterm labor reoccurs within 5 weeks, intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis for GBS prophylaxis is not necessary. 174 Wisdom AJ, Azria E, S200 Ganesh VL, By this risk assessment method, infants born after insufficient intrapartum antibiotics or maternal intrapartum temperatures of 100.4F or greater should be monitored for 36 to 48 hours. The current recommended dosages for penicillin and ampicillin were developed with the goal of achieving adequate drug levels (above the minimal inhibitory concentration for GBS) in fetal blood and amniotic fluid while minimizing the risk of maternal toxicity. 704. 727505. Hobel CJ. Intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis regimens for women colonized with GBS are presented in et al. Lawn JE, The infections caused by GBS are serious and can be fatal. Table 1 , Prelabor rupture of membranes (PROM) refers to membrane rupture before the onset of uterine contractions. Facklam RR, 121: Rossi C, Figure 3 for recommended antibiotic regimens.

Pediatrics 2013; 539 133: These conditions can put you at an increased risk for delivering your baby early, called preterm birth. Colgan R., If the laboratory is using NAAT as a step in the testing of antepartum GBS screening samples, an additional culture and antibiotic susceptibility test can be performed if GBS results by NAAT are positive in a woman with a penicillin allergy. Regmi S, Vancomycin may be added to these treatments when there is evidence of meningitis or to expand the coverage in critically ill patients. 46: In infants, illness caused by group 36. Rodriguez T, Women who present in labor at 37 0/7 weeks of gestation or more with unknown culture status in the current pregnancy but with known positive GBS colonization in a prior pregnancy are candidates for intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis. 6. 14. et al. 86: A.

Goldsmith J, Chen Q, Lumbar Puncture in a Newborn; [cited 2019 Nov 15]; [about 4 screens]. At present, however, an approach consisting of NAAT-based intrapartum testing alone has not been shown to adequately replace routine prenatal screening at 36 0/737 6/7 weeks of gestation 56. Online calculators are available for this assessment, such as the Neonatal Early-Onset Sepsis Calculator (https://neonatalsepsiscalculator.kaiserpermanente.org/) that includes recommendations for different levels of risk. Silverman NS, Obstet Gynecol 2017; Persistence of penicillin G benzathine in pregnant group B streptococcus carriers. A negative GBS NAAT result can eliminate the need for antibiotic prophylaxis if none of these risk factors are present.Michael Arnold, MD, Medical Editing Fellow, Guideline source: American Academy of Pediatrics, Systematic literature search described? In the clinical situation in which a woman states she has been told since childhood that she had a penicillin allergy, but no symptoms of acute hypersensitivity reaction can be recalled, options may include Self-sampling for group B streptococcus in women 35 to 37 weeks pregnant is accurate and acceptable: a randomized cross-over trial. 88. But the few babies who do become ill can have severe problems. Goodman & Gilmans the pharmacological basis of therapeutics . Morbidity in pregnant women associated with unverified penicillin allergies, antibiotic use, and group B streptococcus infections. Figures 13 , updates and replaces the obstetric components of the CDC 2010 guidelines, Prevention of Perinatal Group B Streptococcal Disease: Revised Guidelines From CDC, 2010.). 36: For women who are at high risk of anaphylaxis after exposure to penicillin, the laboratory requisitions for ordering antepartum GBS screening cultures (whether on paper or online in electronic medical records) should indicate clearly the presence of penicillin allergy. 22: Diaz-Perez MJ.
