Comparative evaluation of Strepto B ID(R)chromogenic medium and Granada media for the detection of Group B streptococcus from vaginal samples of pregnant women. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
J Microbiol Methods 2008 Mar 30.
Two types of selective media, the chromogenic medium Strepto B ID(R) and two non-chromogenic media Strepto B agar(R) and the Granada(R) medium, were tested and compared to blood agar plates (BAP) for screening of Group B streptococcus vaginal colonization in pregnant women. All tested media were comparable in terms of sensitivity however, their use in routine laboratories may markedly facilitate the rapid detection of GBS in vaginal samples.
