A total of 156 vaginal and cervical isolates of GBS were examined for resistance to penicillin, ampicillin, clindamycin, cefoxitin, gentamicin, and erythromicin. No resistance to penicillin or ampicillin was found, nor was penicillinase production demonstrated. A high level of resist...
متن کاملVaginal microbiota in healthy pregnant women and prenatal screening of group B streptococci (GBS).
