Group B Streptococcus prevalence in pregnant women from North-Eastern Italy advantages of a screening strategy based on direct plating plus broth enrichment
No full textTo assess the sensitivity of a combined selective broth enrichment technique plus selective plating for the detection of group B streptococcus (GBS) colonisation in a large cohort of pregnant women from North-Eastern Italy 5020 pregnant women were screened between the 35th and the 37th week of gestation during 2002–2005. 901 Women (17.9%) were positive for GBS. On 728 positive samples, corresponding to patients enrolled between 2003 and 2005, the results of selective direct plating and selective broth enrichment were compared. A total of 561 (77.1% of positive samples, corresponding to 13.9% of patients) were positive on direct selective agar; an additional 167 isolates (22.9% of samples, 4.1% of patients) were recovered from the LIM broth subculture. The prevalence of GBS carriage in this study is a reliable estimate considering the sensitivity of the methods used, the rate of attendance of pregnant women to clinical and laboratory settings and the compliance to the protocol
