Any newborn with signs of sepsis should receive a full diagnostic evaluation and receive antibiotic therapy pending the results of the evaluation, regardless of the maternal<unk>  B Streptococcus (GBS) colonization status.  Well-appearing newborns whose mothers had suspected chorioamnionitis should undergo a limited diagnostic evaluation and receive antibiotic therapy pending culture results.  No routine diagnostic testing for GBS is recommended among well-looking infants unless either the gestational age is <37 weeks or the duration of membrane rupture before delivery was ≥18 hours.  The diagnosis of GBS<unk>  is confirmed by the isolation of the organism in either the blood or the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
