Using selective chromogenic plates to optimize isolation of group B Streptococcus in pregnant women

Using selective chromogenic plates to optimize isolation of group B Streptococcus in pregnant women

Group B Streptococcus (GBS) remains the leading cause of severe bacterial infections (sepsis, meningitis, pneumonia) in neonates. We compared the detection of GBS from recto-vaginal swabs on blood agar and two chromogenic media and evaluated their antibiotic susceptibility. A total of 1351 swabs wer...
