Two types of selective media, the chromogenic medium Strepto B ID and two non-chromogenic media Strepto B agar and the Granada 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.
测试了两种选择性培养基,即显色培养基B群链球菌鉴定培养基(Strepto B ID)和两种非显色培养基B群链球菌琼脂培养基(Strepto B agar)及格拉纳达培养基(Granada medium),并将它们与血琼脂平板(BAP)进行比较,以筛查孕妇阴道中B群链球菌的定植情况。所有测试培养基在敏感性方面相当,然而,它们在常规实验室中的使用可能会显著促进阴道样本中B群链球菌的快速检测。
