Group B Streptococcus (GBS)

A common bacterium found in the intestines and genital tract of both men and women. It often causes no symptoms, but can be passed from mother to baby during childbirth, potentially leading to infections in newborns, which can be treated with antibiotics. Pregnant women are tested for GBS, and antibiotics are given during labor if necessary to reduce the risk of transmission. (Source: NHS)
