BackClindamycin susceptibility testing should be performed on prenatal GBS isolates from penicillin-allergic women at high risk for anaphylaxis. Although erythromycin is not recommended for intrapartum GBS prophylaxis, erythromycin susceptibility testing should also be performed on prenatal GBS isolates being tested for clindamycin susceptibility. If susceptibility testing is not performed, or the results are not available at the time of labor, vancomycin is the preferred agent for GBS intrapartum prophylaxis for penicillin-allergic women who are at high risk for an IgE-mediated event such as anaphylaxis or a severe rare delayed reaction.
