12. Confirmed GBS bacteriuria during the current pregnancy
13. Major illness of the mother (outside of HIV serostatus) or conditions of the foetus that, in the investigator's judgment, will substantially increase the risk associated with the participant's participation in, and completion of, the study or could preclude the evaluation of the participant's response, including but not limited to the following (refer to the SRM) for further details):

Psychiatric condition including recent (within the last year) or active suicidal ideation or behaviour or laboratory abnormalities that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the participant inappropriate for entry into this study.
