Does delocalised PCR for Streptococcus B in the labour ward allow adequate administration of antibiotics to prevent early neonatal infection?
Delocalised PCR allows complete antibiotic prophylaxis against Streptococcus B in 63.6 % of cases, offering scope for improvement. While it will not be possible to improve antibioprophylaxis in case of rapid labour (within 3 hours after arrival), we should be able to prevent omissions (2.1 %) and, above all, reduce the birth rate before the second dose (22.4 %) by administering the first dose more quickly.
