Abstract GBS is a leading cause of neonatal invasive infections. Vaginal swabs were collected from Egyptian females pregnant in their third trimester. The GBS colonization frequency and the different techniques used for its diagnosis as latex agglutination and PCR were evaluated in relation to the 25% culture - positive cases. GBS isolates were tested by double disk diffusion method and D - zone test simultaneously for susceptibility to erythromycin and clindamycin and inducible clindamycin resistance for intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis |
