GBS bacteriuria at levels of 105 CFU/mL or greater, either symptomatic or asymptomatic, warrants acute treatment during pregnancy and indicates the need for intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis at the time of birth, and thus no additional rectovaginal culture later in pregnancy is necessary. Identification of asymptomatic bacteriuria with GBS during pregnancy at a level less than 105 CFU/mL does not require maternal treatment during the antepartum period but is an indication for intrapartum prophylaxis at the time of birth.
