The prenatal infection, Group B Strep (GBS) occurs in approximately 1 in 4 women, and can be passed along to infants during pregnancy. Luckily, simple tests and antibiotics can often cure adults of GBS. If left untreated in mothers before birth, newborns can develop devastated conditions such as sepsis and meningitus and be handicapped for life.
