Evaluation of Polymerase Chain Reaction for Group B Streptococcus Detection Using an Improved Culture Method

1 Sept 2006

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The administration of antibiotic prophylaxis to laboring women who harbor Group B streptococci (GBS) depends on identification of carriers. We sought to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detection of GBS using a more stringent culture method. METHODS: Two swabs were used simultaneously to obtain rectovaginal GBS samples from consenting women. One swab was...
