Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is one of the important pathogens in the infection of perinatal neonates. GBS has higher rate of morbidity and mortality in GBS infection of perinatal neonates. With the application of prophylactic antibiotics during labor, the rate of GBS infection in perinatal neonates has significantly decreased, but the rate is currently in stable period. There are ten different serum types of GBS infection. We want to elaborate the characteristics of GBS infection of perinatal neonates from biological, epidemiological and different serum types, and prevention strategies of GBS infection, in order to enhance the knowledge of different serum types of GBS infection in neonatal for clinicians, to find more effective methods or strategies to further reduce the incidence of GBS infection of perinatal neonates, and provide a theoretical basis for decreasing the rate of treatment by antibiotics.
