Abstract
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a bacterium identified primarily in the vagina, gastrointestinal tract and urethra (Sheehy et al. 2012). GBS colonisation in the mother is a significant cause of neonatal sepsis, amassing the newborn morbidity and mortality rate in developed countries (Valkenburg-van den Berg et al. 2010).
