The prevalence of Group B Streptococcus rectovaginal colonization and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern in Turkish and Syrian pregnant women

In our country, implementing universal screening for asymptomatic GBS in pregnant women, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), would be more beneficial than a risk-based screening approach. Given the increased resistance patterns observed in antibiogram results, GBS prophylaxis at delivery, especially in patients with penicillin allergies, should be planned based on antibiotic susceptibility testing.
