Comparative evaluation of 5 different selective media for Group B Streptococcus screening in pregnant women.

Abstract:

:We compared the performances and the cost-effectiveness of 5 selective media for Group B Streptococcus (GBS) screening in vaginal samples from pregnant women. The usefulness of these media is unquestionable for GBS screening; the choice will depend largely on the laboratory organization.
