AB  - Key  Clinical  Updates  in  Preterm  LaborThe  recommended  regimen  for  antimicrobial  prophylaxis  against  group  B  streptococcus  is  penicillin  G,  5  million  units  intravenously  as  a  loading  dose  and  then  2.5–3  million  units  intravenously  every  4  hours  until  delivery.  In  penicillin-allergic  patients  not  at  high  risk  for  anaphylaxis,  2  g  of  cefazolin  can  be  given  intravenously  as  an  initial  dose  and  then  1  g  intravenously  every  8  hours  until  delivery.  In  patients  at  high  risk  for  anaphylaxis,  vancomycin,  20  mg/kg  intravenously  every  8  hours  until  delivery,  can  be  used.  Clindamycin,  900  mg  intravenously  every  8  hours  until  delivery,  can  also  be  used  after  a  group  B  streptococcal  isolate  has  been  confirmed  to  be  susceptible  to  clindamycin.American  College  of  Obstetricians  and  Gynecologists.
