Performance of BD MAX Group B Streptococcus (GBS) Assay without Enrichment for the Detection of GBS [PDF]
Annals of Laboratory Medicine, 2022 Group B streptococcus (GBS) is an important pathogen causing neonatal early-onset disease. We evaluated the diagnostic performance of BD Max GBS assay (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) without enrichment (direct BDM) for detecting GBS using vaginal and rectal specimens in comparison with culture.

Group B streptococcus (GBS) colonization and disease among pregnant women: a historical cohort study [PDF]
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2017 Background. Maternal GBS colonization is associated with early-onset neonatal sepsis and extensive efforts are directed to preventing this complication. Less is known about maternal risks of GBS colonization. We seek to provide a modern estimate of the incidence and impact of maternal GBS colonization and invasive GBS disease. Methods.
