New study tracks how a common bacteria colonizes Babies' guts
NCT ID NCT01719510
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at how group B streptococcus (GBS) bacteria colonize the digestive tract of newborns. Researchers followed nearly 950 mothers and their babies, taking samples from the mother and umbilical cord at birth. The goal was to see if a specific, more dangerous type of GBS (ST-17) persists longer in babies' guts than other types, which could help prevent serious infections like meningitis.
