Abstract

it could be stated that, GBS colonization is not uncommon among
pregnant females during the childbearing period. Alternative assays for
screening of GBS colonization (antigen detection &PCR assay) have
greatly increased sensitivities over the standard culture method
recommended by CDC. The most accurate method was PCR assay
followed by GBS antigen detection method which considered a rapid,
cost effective and easy to perform method.
Antibiotics susceptibility testing of GBS isolates should be
considered to prevent emergence of antibiotics resistance among GBS
strains.
