Rapid detection of group B streptococci directly from vaginal swabs.
Duplicate vaginal swabs were obtained from patients who attended obstetric or gynecologic clinics affiliated with the Magee Womens Hospital in Pittsburgh. One swab was cultured semiquantitatively on 5% sheep blood agar to detect group B streptococci (GBS). The other swab was subjected to a rapid method (25 min) for antigen detection and micronitrous acid exposure to extract the GBS antigen, fol...
متن کاملDiagnosis of bacterial vaginosis from self-obtained vaginal swabs.
OBJECTIVE To determine the concordance between vaginal fluid Gram stains and pH obtained at speculum exam with similar stains and pH prepared from self-obtained vaginal swabs. METHODS Using vaginal fluid Gram stain, 129 pregnant women were screened for bacterial vaginosis at 24 to 29 weeks' gestation. Two smears were collected from each woman during the same prenatal visit: the first was prep...
متن کاملRapid Determination of Macrolide and Lincosamide Resistance in Group B Streptococcus Isolated from Vaginal-Rectal Swabs
OBJECTIVE Our objective was to assess the ability of real-time PCR to predict in vitro resistance in isolates of group B streptococcus (GBS). METHODS The first real-time PCR assays for the genes known to confer resistance to erythromycin and clindamycin in GBS were developed. Three hundred and forty clinical GBS isolates were assessed with these assays and compared with conventional disk diff...
متن کاملValue of bacterial culture of vaginal swabs in diagnosis of vaginal infections.
BACKGROUND/AIM Vaginal and cervical swab culture is still very common procedure in our country's everyday practice whereas simple and rapid diagnostic methods have been very rarely used. The aim of this study was to show that the employment of simple and rapid diagnostic tools [vaginal fluid wet mount microscopy (VFWMM), vaginal pH and potassium hydroxide (KOH) test] offers better assessment of...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility of Gram-negative uropathogens isolated from obstetric patients.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility of Gram-negative uropathogens isolated from pregnant women. METHODS We performed a snapshot cohort study of women receiving care in the University of Florida prenatal clinics during March 2000. Subjects with asymptomatic bacteriuria or cystitis were identified and the antimicrobial susceptibility of each pathogen was recorded. Data were a...
