Group B <i>Streptococcus</i> colonisation, prevalence, associated risk factors and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern among pregnant women attending antenatal care at Dschang District Hospital, West Region of Cameroon: A hospital‐based cross‐sectional study

Abstract

Our findings suggest that we found that, induce abortion, spontaneous abortions and stillbirths were highly associated rates of GBS colonisation, while fever and anaemia were associated with lower rates of GBS colonisation. Further longitudinal research is needed to establish the causal relationship and its biological mechanisms.
