AB  - Rapid identification of pathogenic, beta-hemolytic streptococci is important for 
      treatment decisions. We evaluated fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for 
      this purpose using 23 reference strains, 157 clinical isolates, and 80 blood 
      cultures showing streptococci in the Gram stain. With a sensitivity and 
      specificity in excess of 99%, FISH proved to be suitable for rapid identification 
      of beta-hemolytic streptococci in a diagnostic laboratory.
