Group B streptococcus (GBS; Streptococcus agalactiae) is the most common cause of neonatal and obstetric sepsis and is an increasingly important cause of septicemia in elderly individuals and immunocompromised patients. In the present study, the serotype distribution and the prevalence of GBS isolates from 1026 pregnant women were studied by collecting vaginal and rectal swabs. The swabs were inoculated into the Todd-Hewitt broth containing gentamicin sulphate and nalidixic acid. GBS were identified by latex agglutination. Ahundred women (% 9.74) were positive for GBS, resulting serotype Type Ia (%29) as the most frequent. Serotype II (%25) and III (%15) were other predominant serotypes among GBS isolates from pregnant women.
