- Accuracy of prenatal culture in predicting intrapartum group B streptococcus colonization statusPublication . Florindo, C; Damião, V; Lima, J; Nogueira, I; Rocha, I; Caetano, P; Ribeiro, L; Viegas, S; Gomes, JP; Borrego, MJOBJECTIVE: To evaluate the positive predictive value (PPV) of group B Streptococcus (GBS) cultures at 35-37 weeks of gestation relative to GBS colonization status at delivery. METHODS: Rectovaginal swabs from 221 women at labor in four Lisbon hospitals were collected for GBS screening according to the CDC guidelines. RESULTS: The PPV was 24.4%. IAP was administered to 100% of prenatally GBS positive women. There was no case of early onset GBS disease (EOD). CONCLUSIONS: Poor accuracy of prenatal cultures in identifying true candidates for IAP highlights the need for Portuguese clinical and laboratory guidelines to prevent EOD and antibiotic overtreatment of pregnant women.
