Systematic review and meta-analysis of the prevalence of group B streptococcus (GBS) in pregnant women. GBS prevalence was notably lower in Asia than in non-Asian countries. Rates of resistance to erythromycin and clindamycin were notably higher in Asia than in non-Asian countries. Findings suggest that penicillin is still the first choice for intrapartum prophylaxis of GBS diseases. Our findings support growing concern about antibiotics use (especially erythromycin and clindamycin) in Asia.
