Introduction: Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococci (GBS), emerged in the 1960s as a significant human pathogen that causes neonatal sepsis and meningitis. The presence of GBS in pregnant women is regarded to be the leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity in South Africa and the world. GBS is a bacterial pathogen frequently isolated from the genitourinary tracts of about 35% of healthy adult women. Women who are colonized with GBS might also develop pregnancy-associated infections including urinary tract infection, bacteremia, and postpartum endometritis.Early detection is imperative in order to avoid adverse pregnancy outcomes.
