摘要：

Background-Group B streptococcus (GBS) is now the leading cause of neonatal bacterial sepsis in the western world. The incidence of GBS infection in the United States has been determined, and guidelines produced and implemented for the prevention of neonatal infection. Neither incidence nor guide-lines are currently established in the United Kingdom. Aim-To define the pattern of neonatal infection within one hospital (Luton and Dunstable Hospital). Method-A six year retrospective analysis was performed. Result-An incidence of early onset GBS of 1.15 per 1000 deliveries, comparable with that documented in the United States, was found.
