  Yes Melissa - GBS is a different

  Not so long ago we used to 
  'anti-staph' the babies post first bath and day 3 using chlorhexidine cream,

I thought group b strep and 
staph aureaus are different organisms?  Staph infections on vaginal 
swab require no treatment or preventative abs in labour.  Staph seems 
to have no effects on baby (that they haven't found out yet!) and it is a 
normal colonisation of the skin only becoming a issue in the sick, and 
immunocompromised.  I not 100% sure and am getting ready for work so no 
time to look it up yet.  

 

(p.s sharon, where i work 
we use benzpennicillin 1.2grams then 600mg every four 
hours.)

 http://medic.med.uth.tmc.edu/path/1456.htm
STAPHYLOCOCCUS
Clinically, the most important genus of the Micrococcaceae family is 
Staphylococcus. The Staphylococcus genus is classified into two 
major groups: aureus and non-aureus. S. aureus 
is a leading cause of soft tissue infections, as well as toxic shock syndrome 
(TSS) and scalded skin syndrome. It can be distinguished from other 
species of Staph by a positive result in a coagulase test(all 
other species are negative). 
The pathogenic effects of Staph are mainly asssociated with the toxins 
it produces. Most of these toxins are produced in the stationary phase of the 
bacterial growth curve. In fact, it is not uncommon for an infected site to 
contain no viable Staph cells. The S. aureus enterotoxin 
causes quick onset food poisoning which can lead to cramps and severe vomiting. 
Infection can be traced to contaminated meats which have not been fully cooked. 
These microbes also secrete leukocidin, a toxin which destroys white 
blood cells and leads to the formation of pus and acne. Particularly, S. 
aureus has been found to be the causative agent in such ailments as 
pneumonia, meningitis, boils, arthritis, and osteomyelitis (chronic bone 
infection). Most S. aureus are penicillin resistant, but vancomycin and 
nafcillin are known to be effective against most strains. 
Of the non-aureus species, S. epidermis is the most clinically 
significant. This bacterium is an opportunistic pathogen which is a normal 
resident of human skin. Those susceptible to infection by the bacterium are IV 
drug users, newborns, elderly, and those using catheters 
or other artificial appliances. Infection is easily treatable with vancomycin or 
rifampin. 
S.Epidermis: Babies often get pustules which 
when swabbed contain staph. It causes paronychia & 'sticky eyes' plus 
impetigo in infants/chidren. Highly contagious & passes quickly between 
children, good hand-washing is essential. I wouldn't agree that it's harmless 
babies can get qite sick esp if it affects their umbi& it requires 
antibiotic therapy.
S. 
aureus  gets into wounds & can 
become really nasty. You have all heard of MRSA & Golden Staph (which can 
kill a baby due to septic shock as can Streptococcus).

I was found to be positive with GBS and refused IV treatment in labour, baby was fine with no signs of GBS at all on swabbing.

I thought group b strep and staph aureaus are different organisms?  Staph infections on vaginal swab require no treatment or preventative abs in labour.  Staph seems to have no effects on baby (that they haven't found out yet!) and it is a normal colonisation of the skin only becoming a issue in the sick, and immunocompromised.  I not 100% sure and am getting ready for work so no time to look it up yet.  
 
(p.s sharon, where i work we use benzpennicillin 1.2grams then 600mg every four hours.)

That’s right gbs is group b streph which is found on vaginal swab at 36 weeks treated with benzpennicillin during labour every 4 hours commencing with a loading dose of 3 gms then 1.2 gm every four hours while in active labour.
