The detection of Group B Streptococcus Nucleic Acid test results means that the body has a corresponding infection. Group B streptococci are gram-positive bacteria that are partially anaerobic and colonize the gastrointestinal and reproductive tracts sustainably, thereby triggering infections in the human body. Group B streptococci are also opportunistic pathogens, and when they are present in the digestive and genitourinary tracts of pregnant women, they can, under certain conditions, turn from a colonizing state to a pathogenic organism that can easily induce infection in newborns. Infection of pregnant women with group B streptococcus can lead to cystitis, pyelonephritis, bacteremia, amniotic cavity infection, pneumonia, preterm labor, postpartum endometritis and other diseases. Neonatal infection can lead to sepsis and central nervous system infection in the offspring, and in severe cases, death can occur, and those who survive can suffer neurological sequelae due to inflammatory damage. Therefore, once the presence of positive nucleic acid test for group B streptococcus needs to be taken seriously, and antibiotics need to be used correctly under the guidance of the doctor for treatment.
