Thank you so much for your advocacy and research towards improving care for the babies of mothers with residual GBS!

Thank you both, yes I think if research supports the use of probiotics if could be a real paradigm shift!

I wonder if you see a possible benefit to sole probiotic use for GBS prevention over IAP, as IAP can have long-term effects on the gut?

Hi Megan, yes absolutely. We hypothesis that there is a benefit to probiotics. The long term impact of IAP on the maternal and neonatal gut is an area of research that is still emerging, but it is possible that probiotics may be beneficial to the maternal/newborn dyads that need IAP too.

Thank you so much for your research and continued efforts to improve care for babies. I tested negative for GBS throughout my pregnancy as well as at my 36 week swab and my daughter somehow contracted GBS either during birth or quickly thereafter. I would love to follow your future research and outcomes.

Hi Kelli, I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter. I hope we have more results from this trial in the next year and can help prevent future cases.

Have you noted or expect to find any benefit of probiotic use when looking at residual GBS as a cause of late-onset?

Hi Trenton, Not yet, but possibly in future studies!

Thank you for coining the term "residual GBS" and being proactive to help prevent GBS disease in babies of mothers who have tested negative!

Thank you! I had a great help from all the previous researchers and Dr. Lisa Hanson :) Comments are closed.
