Evaluation of Group B Streptococcus Differential Agar for detection and isolation of Streptococcus agalactiae Bou, German Figueira, M. Canle, Delia Cartelle, Mónica Eiros Bouza, José María Villanueva, Rosa 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. 2021-03-10T11:59:42Z 2021-03-10T11:59:42Z 2021-03-10T11:59:42Z 2005 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2005, vol. 11, n. 8, p. 676-678 1198-743X http://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/45629 10.1111/j.1469-0691.2005.01195.x 676 8 678 Clinical Microbiology and Infection 11 eng https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1198743X14624253?via%3Dihub info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ © Elsevier Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional Elsevier
