Xpert group B streptococcus (GBS) was compared to StrepB Carrot Broth™ (SCB) for the detection of intrapartum GBS colonization by dually collecting vaginal/rectal swabs from 231 women. Xpert GBS detected all of the cases (45, 19.5%), but 4 were missed by SCB. A rapid Xpert GBS service for women in labor would increase costs by ∼$55.000 per annum in our region.
Xpert 组 B 链球菌 (GBS) 与 StrepB 胡萝卜肉汤 (SCB) 进行了比较,对 231 名女性的阴道/直肠拭子进行了双重采集,以检测分娩时 GBS 定植情况。Xpert GBS 检测到了所有的病例 (45 例,19.5%),但有 4 例被 SCB 漏检。在我们的地区,为分娩中的妇女提供快速 Xpert GBS 服务每年将增加约 55000 美元的成本。
