Comparison of the Panther Fusion and BD MAX Group B Streptococcus (GBS) Assays for Detection of GBS in Prenatal Screening Specimens
Copyright policy )Comparison of the Panther Fusion and BD MAX Group B Streptococcus (GBS) Assays for Detection of GBS in Prenatal Screening Specimens
Streptococcus agalactiae or group B Streptococcus (GBS) is the cause of early- and late-onset GBS disease in neonates and can present as septicemia, meningitis, and pneumonia. Our objective was to compare the performance of two FDA-approved nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs), the Panther Fusion and BD MAX systems, for detection of GBS in vaginal-rectal screening specimens. A total of 510 vaginal-rectal prepartum specimens were tested simultaneously in both NAATs following broth enrichment.
