Beta strep, or Group B Streptococcus (GBS), is a type of bacteria commonly found in the human body, particularly in the intestines and genitourinary tract. While it is often harmless in adults, it can cause serious infections in newborns, pregnant women, and individuals with weakened immune systems. GBS can lead to conditions such as pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis in infants if transmitted during childbirth. Screening and preventive measures are important for managing the risks associated with this bacteria in pregnant women.
