Spotlight: Group B Strep (13) Group B Strep in Japan (2)

8 July, 2026

Dear Marti

I found another useful paper about GBS infections.

This is written in English. Group B Streptococcal Disease in Infants in Japan

DOI: 10.1097/INF.0000000000004144

However, I can not find the stillbirth rate caused by GBS infections. As a systematic review, this paper is useful. Maternal group B Streptococcus-related stillbirth: a systematic review.

DOI:10.1111/1471-0528.13527

Kind regards,
Hajime
