| Core Tip |
This is a cross-sectional study carried out in Vitória da Conquista–Bahia with population composed of pregnant women, with gestational age of 32-40 wk. The objective was to evaluate the sensitivity profile of group B Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS) isolated from vaginorectal samples. 210 pregnant women participated in this investigation. Among all strains isolated, 18.4% were resistant to clindamycin and 21.1% resistant to erythromycin. The results presented suggest that chemoprophylaxis for GBS should be guided by antimicrobial susceptibility testing since an important percentage of GBS strains resistant to second-choice antibiotics have been reported, corroborating data in the literature regarding similar studies. |
