Which is a risk factor for GBS colonization
Start
Which increases your risk for GBS colonization?
Exposure to TICKS
Exposure to cattle
Correct!
Although GBS uncommonly colonizes livestock stools, increased frequency of cattle exposure was significantly associated with human colonization and one couple shared the same GBS strains as their bovine suggesting intraspecies transmission.
Next
Which increases your risk for GBS colonization?
Being a healthcare worker
Being a chef
Correct!
A study found that healthcare workers were more likely than non-healthcare workers to be colonized with GBS, independently of age, parity, and ethnicity. (20% vs. 16.5%). To our knowledge, no studies have been done showing the rates of GBS colonization for chefs.
Next
Which increases your risk for GBS colonization?
using hand sanitizer 4 or more times a day
Washing handS 4 or less times a day
Correct!
A small study found positive associations between colonization and infrequent handwashing (4 or fewer times per day).

Which increases your risk for GBS colonization?
being black
being white
Correct!
Studies have found that Black and African American women have higher rates of GBS vaginal colonization than white women. GBS also disproportionately affects African American mothers and their babies who are twice as likely to be affected by GBS than their white counterparts.
Next
Which increases your risk for GBS colonization?
dental health
increased age
Correct!
In one study, maternal age >36 years of age was associated with persistent colonization, and another demonstrated a higher GBS colonization rate in women >40 years of age
Next
Which increases your risk for GBS colonization?
underweight
obesity
Correct!
Maternal obesity is a significant risk factor for GBS colonization at term.
Next
Which increases your risk for GBS colonization?
Pre-existing diabetes
Pre-existing arthritis
Correct!
Studys found that carbohydrate intolerance appears to be an independent risk factor for group B streptococcus colonization during pregnancy.
Next
Which increases your risk for GBS colonization?
smoking
drinking
Correct!
One study clearly determined that smoking during pregnancy is a predictor of GBS colonization specifically in women of term or near term babies.
