Objective:  establishing the prevalence of  Streptococcus agalactiae  in pregnant women attending the Hospital Militar Central’s maternal/fetal medicine service from January 15th 2010 to September 15th 2010. Materials and methods:  this was a cross-sectional descriptive study of women with pregnancies lasting 35 to 37.6 weeks, attending the Hospital Militar Central in Bogota. Sequential sampling of 130 expectant mothers was used. Once they had signed their informed consent forms, swabs were taken for samples of vaginal introit and rectum. Samples were incubated for 24 hours. The isolates were serotyped and subjected to antibiotic susceptibility tests: bile esculin agar negative and Christie-Atkins-Munch-Petersen (CAMP) test positive. A descriptive analysis of the sociodemographic variables was made and  S. agalactiae  isolates tested for positivity. Results:  average expectant mothers’ age was 28±6.76 years. Only one simple proved positive for  Streptococcus agalactiae  serotype 1a (0.38%) from a total of 260 samples taken from 130 expectant mothers; that isolation came from a 37-week pregnant woman from Bogota, having a susceptibility profile showing resistance to ampicillin and vancomycin and sensitivity to cefalotin, ceftriaxone, erythromycin and clindamycin. Conclusions:  the prevalence reported in this study was low for the target population. Carrying out routine screening for  Streptococcus agalactiae  on expectant mothers attending the Hospital Militar Central is thus questionable.
