New CDC Revised Guidelines for Prevention of Perinatal Group B Streptococcal Disease were presented at the PAS meeting in Vancouver last month. I was not able to attend the meeting. Can anybody tell me what is going to change?

Did any body attended that meeting or know some how of it? I am interested also in knowing about the current revised guidlines of GBS positive mother who is untreated and deliver a baby >37weeks. My query is "Is it worth to do blood CS, CBC, CRP in asymptomatic baby born to such a mother? Any one want to share their protocol? experience? ideas? articles evidence based?

I have seen recent canadian guidelines which does not recommend blood Cs in such babies but AAP still recommend
