To explore factors associated with a high vaginal GBS load during labor considering (1) the recto-vaginal GBS load at 35-37 weeks' gestation determined by culture and (2) the vaginal GBS colonization determined by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay during labor. From an unselected cohort of 902 pregnant women, we obtained (1) recto-vaginal swabs for culture of GBS at 35-37 weeks' gestation (GBS ), (2) vaginal swabs for GBS PCR detection at labor (PCR ), and (3) vaginal swabs for culture of GBS at labor (GBS ). The GBS load was c
