Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>- Prevalence of GBS carriage in pregnant women in the Netherlands<br /><br>- Whole genome sequencing of colonizing GBS isolates with Illumina HiSeq at the<br /><br>Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute<br /><br>- Specific IgG concentrations by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and<br /><br>functionality against GBS vaccine targets in maternal serum from pregnant<br /><br>women colonized with GBS and non-carriers, and cord blood from their newborns</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>- Comparison of specific IgG distributions and functionality against vaccine<br /><br>targets at delivery in pregnant women colonized with GBS and mothers of<br /><br>patients with invasive GBS disease<br /><br>- Comparison of specific IgG distributions and functionality against vaccine<br /><br>targets in newborns from pregnant women colonized with GBS (blood spots and<br /><br>cord blood) and patients with invasive GBS disease (blood spots and serum)<br /><br>- Genome wide association study comparing invasive to colonizing GBS isolates</p><br>
