The bacterium G. vaginalis has been shown to be a significant bacterium in bacterial vaginosis, and a likely cause of premature birth, if not properly treated. Clindamycin has a better clinical efficacy than Metronidazole in cases of recurrent BV, and can be a better treatment when G. vaginalis is involved.

Two boys were offered large settlements to cover the lifelong care that their cerebral palsy requires. The boys developed cerebral palsy as a result of brain damage that occurred when medical staff failed to notice severe complications during labor. One medical team failed to notice cord compression and severe oxygen deprivation, another failed to notice placental abruption and fluctuating fetal heart.

GBS is a significant cause of UTI in pregnant women. GBS and UTIs can have severe consequences for the newborn, such as cerebral palsy, infection, preterm birth, premature rupture of the membranes (PROM) and preterm PROM, placental abruption and fetal distress.

A new, fast test for GBS could decrease the number of women with missed GBS diagnoses, thereby preventing cerebral palsy, meningitis, sepsis and pneumonia in GBS infected babies. The test also could help prevent antibiotic overuse blood infections in infants.
