Abstract
- The article presents a report from the U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) summarizing an investigation into trends in prenatal group B Streptococcal disease (GBS) in the U.S. between 2000-2006. The analysis includes 2006 data from the Active Bacterial Core surveillance system. Results indicate an increase in the incidence early-onset GBS from 2003 to 2006, driven by an increase in preterm infants and a significantly higher rate among black infants. The overall rate of late-onset of GBS from 2000 to 2006 remained stable.
