- GBS is a common bacterium that lives in the bodies of 20 to 40% of women.
- Like many bacteria, GBS can be passed from person to person by skin-to-skin contact.
- Carrying GBS is not harmful to you and most women with GBS will have no symptoms, but it can affect your baby around the time of birth.
- Occasionally, GBS can lead to serious infection in new-born babies. Very rarely, it can also cause infection during pregnancy and before labour.
