Prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of group B streptococci among pregnant women in Ethiopia: A systemic review and meta-analysis study.

= 90.28). Ampicillin (97.8%; interquartile range = 89.5%-100%), penicillin G (95.5%; interquartile range = 89.5%-100%), and vancomycin (100%; interquartile range = 89.5%-100%) susceptibility were all high in Group B streptococcus, whereas tetracycline (29%; interquartile range = 89.5%-100%) susceptibility was low. Group B streptococcus colonization rates in Ethiopian women during pregnancy were virtually similar to those in many underdeveloped countries, and Group B streptococcus isolates were highly sensitive to ampicillin, penicillin G, and vancomycin.
