Colonization with Group B streptococcus and Ureaplasma urealyticum among parturient women in Poland and Ukraine

Abstract

J. Skręt-Magierło).Group B streptococcus (GBS) and Ureaplasma urealyticum colonization are common among women during pregnancy. A recommendation for GBS screening and prophylaxis was introduced in Poland in 2009. Data from Poland before the recommendation revealed that the incidence of GBS colonization in parturient women was 19% and transmission to the fetus was 21% [1]. It is not known how the introduction of the recommendation has changed these figures. Ukraine, which neighbors the European Union and directly borders Poland, lacks the GBS screening and prophylaxis recommendation. The incidence of U. urealyticum in Poland and Ukraine is unknown.The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of vaginal colonization by GBS and U. urealyticum in parturient women admitted to obstetric departments at the University of Rzeszów, Poland, and the University of Iwano-Frankowsk, Ukraine, and the transmission of GBS to newborns.

“…The highest incidence of cervical inflammation in Gynecology was CC19 and adverse pregnancy outcomes in Birth Control Department was ST12. In other states and regions, CC19, CC1, CC10 and CC17 were the most in Romania from Eastern Europe and CC23, CC19 and CC17 were mainly detected in Poland from Central Europe [47,48]. Like Iran, the most common clonal complexes were CC19 and CC10 [39,49].…”
