The purpose of this study is to examine whether oral taking Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1 and Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14 from 28th week of gestation can reduce the GBS colonization rate of vagina and rectum in 35-37 weeks pregnant women as well as during laboring who present with GBS-positive at 28 weeks pregnancy. Through the results of our study, we try to investigate the role of probiotics in preventing the unnecessary tests, admission and antibiotic treatment in newborn with GBS-positive mother who deliver fewer than 4 hours after laboring and the influence of improving cervical diagnostics quality for postpartum Pap testing. Investigators hope the findings may have some effects on GBS sepsis and protocols as well as cervical diagnosis.
