Comparative study of GenePOC GBS LB Assay and GeneXpert GBS LB Assay for the detection of Group B <i>Streptococcus</i> in prenatal screening samples

2019-02-18

Abstract excerpt

Group B Streptococcal (GBS) infections in the United States are a leading cause of meningitis and sepsis in newborns. The CDC, therefore recommends GBS screening for all pregnant women at 35–37 weeks of gestation and administration of intrapartum prophylaxis (in those that tested positive) as an effective means of controlling disease transmission. Several FDA approved molecular diagnostic tests are available for r...
