According to the CDC, giving GBS+ pregnant women antibiotics through the vein (IV) during labor can prevent most cases of early-onset GBS disease in newborns. #groupBstrep

In many countries, #groupBstrep guidelines recommend getting tested for GBS during your 36th or 37th week of pregnancy. If the test result is positive, you should receive IV antibiotics during labor. Knowing your GBS status is important! gbs-intl.org/gbs-testing #GBSTest

Provider-patient communication is important and can make all the difference when it comes to helping protect your baby! Don’t be misinformed or unaware about GBS. Talk to your licensed healthcare provider about #groupBstrep, ask questions, and make a plan today!

Studies show that giving intrapartum IV antibiotics during labor interrupts vertical transmission of #groupBstrep and significantly decreases the incidence of early-onset GBS disease! Make sure you know your GBS status!

Recovering from a #groupBstrep infection does not mean that a baby cannot become infected by GBS again. Recurrent group B strep disease can occur after completed appropriate treatment of the primary infection. Parents need to be made aware! gbs-info.org

There are various signs of #groupBstrep disease in babies. Make sure you and everyone who takes care of your baby know the signs. GBS is a fast-acting type of bacteria – contact your baby's healthcare provider immediately with any concerns! bit.ly/GBSsigns

Not just an issue at birth: #groupBstrep (GBS) can also harm babies before birth and up to several months of age. Know the signs of infection and trust your instincts. gbs-info.org

Research is key. Major progress has been made toward having a maternal #GroupBStrep vaccine widely available to help protect babies from GBS. Until then, testing and appropriate treatment are our best tools! gbs-intl.org/gbs-testing

#groupBstrep can cause many types of infection including sepsis!
For many, the impact of sepsis can continue long after recovery—through ongoing health challenges, emotional stress, lost income, and other unexpected burdens.

We're raising awareness of the hidden costs of sepsis and the lasting effects it can have on survivors, loved ones, and communities.
