According to the AAP, babies born preterm account for about 42% of late-onset group B strep cases! Death caused by late-onset GBS occurs in preterm babies at roughly twice the rate of babies born at term (7.8% vs 3.4%)

Thank you @Lab_Ready for your work to bring attention to #GroupBStrep and other types of bacteria that can be harmful to babies and people of all ages!
We strive to educate the public about #GroupBStrep and other bacterium that can cause medical harm. Read our “Ask the Expert” segment, featuring commentary from #womenshealth experts: hubs.li/H0FgGG10 #GBS #diagnostics #neonatology #obgyn #Pathtwitter @GroupBStrep
1 out of every 5 samples is misdiagnosed because they often arrive to the lab already dead. @LabReady re-imagines specimen transport by protecting and nurturing samples en-route. Register to learn more about @Lab_Ready here ---> hubs.li/H0DB9T60 #jpm2021 @jpmorgan
