I would like to suggest that some sections of this article should be re-written. For example the section on NICE reads "However, NICE does not recommend such testing, saying, a “evidence of its clinical effectiveness and cost effectiveness remains uncertain.” However, the evidence of similar screening studies clearly demonstrates the clinical effectiveness of testing pregnant women for GBS". It would be nice to cite sources here. Also the first sentence of the paragraph is somewhat redundant and seems to be setting up a "straw man". This paragraph should be phrased in more neutral terms. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Russellwstanley ( talk • contribs) 15:45, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
New article, will add more info today.-- FloNight 00:13, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
This type of infection is not covered in this article. Are there sources of information about it? Thank you, Wordreader ( talk) 16:41, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
The section of the article entitled National Institute for Clinical Excellence goes on to refer to "NICE". However, such an organization is not found within WP articles. A browser search returns no such agency, but instead elicits results for the " National Institute for Health and Care Excellence" in the United Kingdom's National Healthcare System. There IS a WP article for that agency. Reference #34 points to an item from that agency. This report found on PubMed, "The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE)", describes the UK's agency: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1766719/pdf/v061p0ii92.pdf
So, does the "National Institute for Clinical Excellence" = "National Institute for Health and Care Excellence"? Or is it a different agency from another country, perhaps? Maybe the NIHCE underwent a name change somewhere along the way? Please provide clarification on what agency you meant. Thank you, Wordreader ( talk) 17:02, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
ANS: NICE = National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. This is what the author means to refer to throughout the article. National Institute for Clinical Excellence does not exist and is an error. — Preceding

Because an effective vaccine has yet to be developed, it is probably inappropriate to have an article for "the vaccine". Furthermore most of this content is covered in the main Group B strep article — Schistocyte ( talk) 23:39, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
I removed some redundant technical content about the bacterium itself from the introduction, but there is more room for improvement. The topic of this article is not yet well-reflected in the introduction, notably the screening effort of pregnant women deserves more mention. I am considering removing the reference to virulence factors in the introduction, or moving it to a sub-section, as it is not the most important information on this page. -- M Killian ( talk) 16:35, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
Added a cleanup tag because this page seems to have a lot of information scattered across it that can be found elsewhere on the page. Removal of repetitive statements and sections would improve readability of the page. Just-a-can-of-beans ( talk) 00:29, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
