Approximately 1 in 4 pregnant women carry GBS,
the most common cause of life-threatening
infections in newborns according to the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC). GBS can also infect babies during
pregnancy and the first few months of life. Not
all babies exposed to GBS become infected, but,
for those who do, the results can be
devastating.
