A midwife offers every woman testing for asymptomatic bacteria at booking in pregnancy and this includes looking for Group B streptococcus (GBS).
Information for women on GBS (early and late onset) is available on the NHS Choices website at:
www.nhs.uk/chq/pages/2037.aspx?categoryid=54& subcategoryid=137
including a link to the Group B Strep Support charity.
The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) has produced patient information, âPreventing group B streptococcus (GBS) infection in newborn babies (information for you)â, for women and their families who are expecting a baby or are planning to get pregnant. Advice from that guidance also features on the NHS Choices website.
The RCOG has a Green-top guideline, Prevention of Early onset Group B Streptococcal Disease, which provides guidance for obstetricians, midwives and neonatologists on the prevention of early-onset neonatal group B streptococcal disease.

Mr Mike Hancock:
Information on the number of national health service trusts which offer testing for group B streptococcus carriage (GBS) in pregnancy using the enriched culture medium test is not held centrally.
The UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) advises Ministers and the NHS in all four United Kingdom countries about all aspects of screening policy, including screening policy for GBS carriage in pregnancy. In 2008-09 the UK NSC recommended that a national screening programme to test for GBS carriage in pregnancy using the enriched culture medium test should not be offered. The UK NSC is currently reviewing the evidence for screening for GBS carriage in pregnancy using the enriched culture medium test against its criteria again. A public consultation on the screening review will open in June 2012.
