Concordance between detection of GBS colonization analyzed by antepartum culture (rectum and vaginal) and intrapartum culture (vagina) as the reference standard.
Table 2.
Detection of GBS colonization by intrapartum polymerase chain reaction test (PCR) compared to intrapartum vaginal culture as the reference standard.
Table 3.
Performance of antepartum vaginal/rectal culture and intrapartum vaginal PCR test using intrapartum vaginal culture for GBS as the reference standard.
