October 18, 2013

Obstetric and neonatal healthcare providers can quickly access patient-specific guidance on managing group B Streptococcus (strep) infections with a new CDC mobile app. Group B strep can cause pneumonia, blood infections, and meningitis and is one of the most common causes of infectious illness and death for US newborns in the first week of life. You can download the free app from the CDC iTunes App Store or access a web version on your computer. Please share this email with others interested in improving public health practice through evidence-based strategies. A library of "Did You Know?" information is available online
