Has anyone read this article? I'm not ready to think through the
policy ramifications of "asymptomatic excretion"....and wonder if
inquiring minds will extrapolate the "dangers of breastmilk" for
full-term babies as well...(I am NOT going to work today to ask for a
copy of this article!)

Infected breast milk associated with late-onset and recurrent group B
streptococcal infection in neonatal twins: a genetic analysis


Abstract  Asymptomatic excretion of group B streptococcus (GBS) in
breast milk may be an underrecognized cause of neonatal and recurrent
infection. We report the case of late-onset and recurrent infection in
newborn twins resulting from ingestion of maternal breast milk
infected with GBS. Genetic analysis of isolates is equally presented.
