The rates of early-onset group B Streptococcus (GBS) disease (EOGBS) have declined since the implementation of universal screening and intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis guidelines but late-onset (LOGBS) rates remain unchanged. Racial differences in GBS disease rates have been previously documented, with Black infants having higher rates of EOGBS and LOGBS, but it is not known if these have persisted. Therefore, we sought to determine the differences in EOGBS and LOGBS disease by race over the past decade in Tennessee.
