Applicability of an in-house extraction protocol in a Bruker Biotyper matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry system for the identification of Streptococcus agalactiae from broth-enriched vaginal/rectal swab specimens

Applicability of an in-house extraction protocol in a Bruker Biotyper matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry system for the identification of Streptococcus agalactiae from broth-enriched vaginal/rectal swab specimens

Background and purpose: Early laboratory identification of group B Streptococcus (GBS, Streptococcus agalactiae) in the birth canal of pregnant women is critical for prompt administration of antimicrobial therapy and may further reduce the mortality rate due to GBS neonatal infection. Methods: A tot...
