      of Group B Streptococci in pregnant women.

AB  - We aimed to compare Hitchens-Pike-Todd-Hewitt (HPTH) enrichment broth, 
      Todd-Hewitt broth, and direct culture onto blood sheep agar containing selective 
      antimicrobial (ABA) in screening Group B Streptococci (GBS) carriage in pregnant 
      women. From April to June 2007, duplicate lower vaginal and duplicate anorectal 
      specimens of 102 pregnant women at 35 weeks of gestation or more, who were 
      assisted at Santa Casa de Misericordia Hospital, Maringa, Parana, Brazil, were 
      screened by GBS using HPTH, Todd-Hewitt broth, and ABA. Twenty-five (24.5%) 
      pregnant women had one or more positive culture for GBS in those media. The 
      positive rate for each medium was 21.6% (22/102) in the HPTH, 12.8% (13/102) in 
      ABA, and 11.8% (12/102) in Todd-Hewitt broth. HPTH seems to be a high 
      satisfactory medium for screening GBS in vaginal and anorectal samples in 
      pregnant women and additional studies would be interesting in a larger number of 
      pregnant women and in different laboratories.
