Disease burden of Group B Streptococcus among infants in sub-Saharan Africa: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis
- Abstract:
-
Background: Group B streptococcus (GBS) is a leading neonatal sepsis pathogen globally. Investment in GBS disease prevention, such as maternal vaccination, requires evidence of disease burden, particularly in high infant mortality regions like sub-Saharan Africa. We aimed to provide such evidence by conducting a systematic literature review and meta-analysis to estimate maternal colonization proportion, GBS disease incidence, and GBS serotype distribution.
