Group B Strep

I am looking for information regarding Group B Strep. I understand that common procedure is to use IV antibiotics during labor and delivery. I am questioning what is done for the baby to prevent the baby from contracting this. I know that there is early onset as well as late onset (up to 3 months) in infants. The articles I have read suggest being aware of warning signs that the baby may have Strep B, but I see nothing that suggests preventative treatment. Any information would be appreciated. Please feel free to email me directly.

Thank you.
