ABSTRACT
Group B streptococcus(GBS), also known as streptococcus agalactis, is a Gram-positive conditionally causative coccus that can colonize healthy humans.GBS is a common pathogen of bacterial meningitis in infants under 3 months of age.GBS serotype Ⅲ and sequence type 17(ST 17)are the most common and virulent, and there is a significant correlation between serotype Ⅲ and ST 17, and erythromycin resistance is high.Penicillin or ampicillin is the first-line drug in China.Children with GBS meningitis are at high risk of poor prognosis.Intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis(IAP)may be given in the presence of specific risk factors for GBS invasion in newborns. IAP reduced the incidence of early-onset GBS, but did not significantly reduce early-onset mortality and late-onset morbidity.
