The objective of this study was to assess whether vaginal Streptococcus group G or C colonization detected in late pregnancy increases the infectious morbidity of the mother or newborn.<jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. A total of 15,114 rectovaginal cultures taken at 35\u201337 weeks of pregnancy were analyzed at Tampere University Hospital, Finland, between 2012 and 2014. From this laboratory data, all Streptococcus G or C-positive cultures were included to study maternal and neonatal infectious morbidity after delivery. This study population was compared to women with a positive Streptococcus B culture and to women with a negative culture.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. The prevalence of Streptococcus G or C colonization was 2.9%. Significantly more postpartum endometritis was found in this study group. No association was found between colonization and neonatal bacteremia.<jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. Streptococcus G or C colonization is associated with postpartum endometritis. More research is needed to clarify if antibiotic prophylaxis is reasonable for this group during delivery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2018\/2321046","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,3]],"date-time":"2018-06-03T23:31:33Z","timestamp":1528068693000},"page":"1-7","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Prevalence
