Screening for Group B streptococcal carriage in antenatal cases in a tertiary care hospital
Sepsis is an important cause of infant mortality in India with bacterial infections being the most common causative agent. However studies related to group B streptococcus have been limited and hence a study was taken up to look for antenatal carriage of Streptococcus agalactiae in the Indian population this study revealed a carriage rate of 14.81% implying that we now need to look at group B streptococcus as a possible etiology in neonatal sepsis more actively.
