  • Title: Evaluation of Group B Streptococcus Differential Agar for detection and isolation of Streptococcus agalactiae.
    Author: Bou G, Figueira M, Canle D, Cartelle M, Eiros JM, Villanueva R.
    Journal: Clin Microbiol Infect; 2005 Aug; 11(8):676-8. PubMed ID: 16008623.
    Abstract:
    In total, 320 vaginal or rectal swabs were cultured on Granada medium (GM) or Group B Streptococcus Differential Agar (GBSDA), and were also inoculated into LIM broth (Todd-Hewitt broth supplemented with selective antibiotics), for detection of group B Streptococcus (GBS). Overall, GBS isolates were detected on 53 of the 320 swabs; 47 of these isolates grew on both GM and GBSDA, five only on GBSDA, and one only following subculture from LIM broth. GBSDA appears to be a valid alternative to GM for the growth of GBS isolates from pregnant women.
