The knowledge of maternal colonization and antimicrobial susceptibility test is substantially needed for a nation to formulate a policy or change the already existing one to reduce maternal, fetus, and infant mortality. As a result, the goal of this review was to determine the pooled prevalence Group B streptococcus colonization and antimicrobial susceptibility among Ethiopian pregnant women.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Literature searches were carried out in the electronic biomedical databases and indexing services such as PubMed\/MEDLINE, Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Original records of research articles, available online from 2014 to December 2020, addressing prevalence and antimicrobial-resistance pattern of Group B streptococcus in pregnant women were identified and screened. Endnote citation manager software version X9 for windows was utilized to collect and organize search outcomes and for removal of duplicate articles. The relevant data were extracted from included studies using a format prepared in Microsoft Excel and exported to STATA 14.0 software for the outcome measures analyses and subgrouping.

Group B streptococcus colonization was recorded in 979 of the 5743 pregnant women, resulting in a 16% overall frequency (95% confidence interval: 13%\u221220%). The estimated prevalence varied significantly between studies with significant heterogeneity (\u03c7\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      = 154.31, p = 0.001, I\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      = 90.28). Ampicillin (97.8%; interquartile range = 89.5%\u2212100%), penicillin G (95.5%; interquartile range = 89.5%\u2212100%), and vancomycin (100%; interquartile range = 89.5%\u2212100%) susceptibility were all high in Group B streptococcus, whereas tetracycline (29%; interquartile range = 89.5%\u2212100%) susceptibility was low. Group B streptococcus colonization rates in Ethiopian women during pregnancy were virtually similar to those in many underdeveloped countries, and Group B streptococcus isolates were highly sensitive to ampicillin, penicillin G, and vancomycin.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/20503121221081338","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,28]],"date-time":"2022-02-28T05:12:01Z","timestamp":1646025121000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of group B streptococci among pregnant women in Ethiopia: A systemic review and meta-analysis study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Dereje","family":"Lemma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Ambo University, Ambo, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tufa Kolola","family":"Huluka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health, College of Medicine and health Sciences, Ambo University, Ambo, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0323-5011","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Legese","family":"Chelkeba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology and Clinical Pharmacy, College of Health Sciences, Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-20503121221081338","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12941-019-0313-1"},{"issue":"12","key":"bibr2-20503121221081338","first-page":"3679","volume":"16","author":"YektaKooshali MH","year":"2018","journal-title":"Int J Reprod Biomed"},{"key":"bibr3-20503121221081338","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10096-020-03992-8"},{"key":"bibr4-20503121221081338","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clp.2007.03.012"},{"key":"bibr5-20503121221081338","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jgar.2016.08.010"},{"key":"bibr6-20503121221081338","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/cix528","volume":"65","author":"Russell NJ","year":"2017","journal-title":"Clin Infect Dis"},{"key":"bibr7-20503121221081338","unstructured":"Verani JR, McGee L, Schrag SJ.
