    Abstract

    The sensitivity, specificity, and negative and positive predictive values for the detection of group B Streptococcus (GBS) in 206 LIM enrichment broths by the use of subculture, GBS peptide nucleic acid fluorescent in situ hybridization (PNA FISH), and GBS PCR were 96.9%, 100%, 98.6%, and 100%; 98.4%, 100%, 99.3%, and 100%; and 100%, 100%, 100%, and 100%, respectively.
