    Here's what I heard:

    GBS is a different organism from Staph. Not so long ago we used to 'anti-staph' the babies post first bath and day 3 using chlorhexidine cream, it apparently no longer is required as the 'staph contamination' is not harmful.
    Staph is a normal flora usually of the skin, upper respiratory tract but also of the genital tract.
