La infección por Streptococcus agalactiae, estreptococo grupo B (EGB), continúa siendo la causa más frecuente de sepsis neonatal de etiología bacteriana. En 2003, las Sociedades Españolas de Ginecología y Obstetricia, Neonatología, Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica, Quimioterapia y Medicina Familiar y Comunitaria publicaron recomendaciones actualizadas para la prevención de la infección neonatal precoz por EGB. En ellas se recomendaba la identificación de gestantes portadoras de EGB mediante cultivo de muestra de exudado vaginorrectal realizado en las 35-37 semanas de gestación y la administración de profilaxis antibiótica intraparto (PAI) a todas las gestantes colonizadas. En estas nuevas recomendaciones se actualizan los métodos microbiológicos para realizar la identificación de portadoras de EGB y la técnica de sensibilidad a antibióticos; se revisan los antibióticos de primera línea que pueden usarse para PAI (penicilina, ampicilina, cefazolina) y sus alternativas (clindamicina y vancomicina); se clarifica el significado de la presencia de EGB en orina, incluyendo criterios para el diagnóstico de infección urinaria y bacteriuria asintomática por EGB en la embarazada; se define el uso de PAI en la amenaza de parto prematuro y rotura prematura de membranas, y se revisa el manejo del recién nacido en relación con el estado de portadora de EGB de la madre. Estas recomendaciones solo son válidas para la prevención de la infección neonatal precoz por EGB, y no son efectivas frente a la infección neonatal tardía. Tras la aplicación generalizada de la PAI, la incidencia de la sepsis neonatal precoz por EGB ha disminuido (..) (AU)

Group B streptococci (GBS) remain the most common cause of early onset neonatal sepsis. In 2003 the Spanish Societies of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Neonatology, Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology, Chemotherapy, and Family and Community Medicine published updated recommendations for the prevention of early onset neonatal GBS infection. It was recommended to study all pregnant women at 35-37 weeks gestation to determine whether they were colonised by GBS, and to administer intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP) to all colonised women. There has been a significant reduction in neonatal GBS infection in Spain following the widespread application of IAP. Today most cases of early onset GBS neonatal infection are due to false negative results in detecting GBS, to the lack of communication between laboratories and obstetric units, and to failures in implementing the prevention protocol. In 2010, new recommendations were published by the CDC, and this fact, together with the new knowledge and experience available, has led to the publishing of these new recommendations. The main changes in these revised recommendations include: microbiological methods to identify pregnant GBS carriers and for testing GBS antibiotic sensitivity, and the antibiotics used for IAP are updated; The significance of the presence of GBS in urine, including (..)

These recommendations are only addressed to the prevention of GBS early neonatal infection, are not effective against late neonatal infection.

It has been a significant reduction in neonatal group B streptococcus (GBS) infection in Spain following the widespread application of intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis. In 2010, new recommendations have been published by the CDC and this fact, together with the new knowledge and experience available, has driven to the participating scientific societies publishing these new recommendations. In these recommendations is advised to study all pregnant women at 35-37 gestation weeks` to determine if they are colonized by GBS and to administer intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP) to all colonized mothers. Microbiological methods to identify pregnant GBS carriers are updated and intrapartrum antibiotic prophylaxis in preterm labour and premature rupture of membranes and the management of the newborn in relation to GBS carrier status of the mother are also revised.

Como consecuencia aplicación de la profilaxis antibiótica intraparto ha ocurrido una importante reducción de la infección neonatal por estreptococo grupo B en nuestro país. En 2010 se han publicado nuevas recomendaciones por los CDC y este hecho, junto con los nuevos conocimientos disponibles, ha llevado a las sociedades participantes a publicar estas nuevas recomendaciones. En ellas se mantiene el criterio de administrar profilaxis intraparto a todas las embarazadas colonizadas por EGB, se actualizan las técnicas de diagnostico de portadoras y se clarifica la actuación frente al parto prematuro y a los recién nacidos a riesgo de infectarse(AU)
