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.

BACKGROUND Rapid identification of mycobacteria is important for timely treatment and the implementation of public health measures. The MGIT system ensures rapid detection of mycobacteria, but identification is usually delayed by days to weeks due to further subculture on solid medium. Matrix-assisted laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was demonstrated to effective...
