ABSTRACT

Streptococcus agalactiae is a common microorganism found in the gastrointestinal and genital tract of pregnant women, which may be invasive due to a polysacharide capsule that surrounds it, and allows it to ascend from the vagina into the amniotic fluid, cross through the membranes, breaking them or not, and infecting the fetus. Protocols to detect this germ between weeks 35-37 of pregnancy have changed the epidemiology and the management of neonatal sepsis by Streptococcus agalactiae, therefore implementing them represents one of the critical factors in the prevention of early neonatal infections due to this agent.
