Incidence of neonatal sepsis after universal antenatal culture‐based screening of group B streptococcus and intrapartum antibiotics: a multicentre retrospective cohort study

Universal culture-based GBS screening and IAP were associated with reduction in early-onset neonatal sepsis including GBS disease. Although an increase in incidence of late-onset neonatal sepsis including those caused by GBS cannot be totally ruled out, we did not identify significant evidence that this occurred.
