Abstract
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is the leading cause of early-onset sepsis in infants in the United States. Penicillin or ampicillin are first-line prophylactic antibiotics given to GBS-colonized mothers to prevent early-onset neonatal sepsis. Cefazolin, clindamycin, or vancomycin are used for women who report a penicillin allergy. We hypothesize that reported penicillin allergy in GBS-positive mothers is associated with an increased risk of early-onset GBS infection and longer duration of hospitalization for infants with increased interventions.
