  • Title: Culture-based method with performance comparable to that of PCR-based methods for detection of group B Streptococcus in screening samples from pregnant women.
    Author: Berg BR, Houseman JL, Garrasi MA, Young CL, Newton DW.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2013 Apr; 51(4):1253-5. PubMed ID: 23345288.
    Abstract:
    We compared five approaches for group B streptococcus (GBS) detection: three culture-based methods and two methods using broth-enhanced real-time PCR. Carrot broth-enhanced subculture to GBS Detect (Hardy Diagnostics, Santa Maria, CA) exhibited sensitivity and specificity comparable to carrot broth- and LIM broth-enhanced real-time PCRs.
