Abstract
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a major cause of neonatal sepsis and meningitis. We followed up 78 pregnant couples for ≤2 months to estimate the risk of GBS transmission. Among couples with discordant GBS status, weobserved 1 male-to-female transmission event (1 of 3 couples in which the woman was GBS negative at enrollment), but no female-to-male transmission events (0 of 8 couples in which the man was GBS negative at enrollment). © 2008 by the Infectious Diseases Society of America.
