title: Intrauterine infection and post-partum bacteraemia due to Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. pasteurianus.
abstract: The case is presented of a woman with intrauterine infection and post-partum bacteraemia due to Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. pasteurianus, who delivered an infant via Caesarean section. Furthermore, we comment on the possibility of vaginal colonization of this organism as a portal of entry in cases of maternal and neonatal infections.
