^aThirty-two S. pseudoporcinus isolates were recovered from female genital sources, and two S. pseudoporcinus isolates were from nongenital sources (urine culture and posthysterectomy wound culture).

^bObesity was defined as a prepregnancy body mass index of ≥30.

^cMorbid obesity was defined as a prepregnancy body mass index of ≥40.

^dUsing the JHH microbiology laboratory GBS screening and identification protocol, we reported a positive GBS screening result if the isolates were found to carry the B antigen by the Prolex test.

^eVagina, vaginal-rectal sample.

^fAA, African American; W, white.

^gNA, data not available; BV, bacterial vaginosis; CT, C. trachomatis infection; DM, diabetes mellitus; GC, gonococcal infection; HSV, herpes simplex virus infection (genital herpes); NAAT, nucleic acid amplification test; TV, T. vaginalis infection.
