What is Intrapartum GBS PCR Test Overview about?
The Intrapartum Group B Streptococcus PCR Test is a rapid diagnostic test for detecting Group B Streptococcus (GBS) from vaginal-rectal swabs, crucial for preventing perinatal GBS disease. The CDC recommends universal screening for GBS at 35-37 weeks of gestation, with the Cepheid GeneXpert PCR test providing results in about one hour. Limitations include potential false negatives and the necessity of proper specimen collection to avoid invalid results.
