Group B Streptococcus Colonization Detection Culture 188130
Swab · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 3 - 4 days
Method and collection
Method
Selective broth enrichment culture and aerobic bacterial culture
Collection
Collection of both a vaginal and rectal swab specimen is strongly recommended. Swab the lower vagina (vaginal introitus), followed by the rectum (i.e., insert swab through the anal sphincter) using the same swab. Move swab from side to side, or rotate the swab at the collection site, allowing several seconds for absorption of organisms by the swab. Cervical, perianal, perirectal or perineal specimens are not acceptable, and a speculum should not be used for culture collection.

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
