Abstract
In 2002, revised guidelines for preventing perinatal group B streptococcal disease were published. In 2002, all Minnesota providers surveyed reported using a prevention policy. Most screen vaginal and rectal specimens at 34-37 weeks of gestation. The use of screening-based methods has increased dramatically since 1998.
