At Group B Strep International (GBSI), we strive to spread knowledge about GBS around the world. One way we do this is by attending and presenting at perinatal conferences. Our team has presented many oral and poster presentations and we want to further our reach by sharing our poster presentations here as well. 

GBSI also hosts online conferences which are available for your viewing.
