ACCUPROBE Group B Streptococcus Assay
The ACCUPROBE Group B Streptococcus Culture ID Test is a rapid DNA probe test which utilizes the techniques of nucleic acid hybridization for the identification of Group B Streptococcus from culture. The test offers a rapid, non-subjective method for the definitive identification of Group B Streptococcus based on the detection of specific ribosomal RNA sequences that are unique to Streptococcus agalactiae.
Features/Benefits:
- Offers a rapid, non-subjective method of detection
- Traditional confirmative identification of Group B Strep requires a combination of biochemical and/or serologic tests
- Sensitivity and specificity, from 18-24 hour Lim broth inocula, comparable to standard culture
- Detects all serotypes of Group B Strep both hemolytic and non-hemolytic
- Eliminates the need for secondary culture
- Streamlines workflow
- Decreases turnaround time
- Facilitates workflow efficiency by enabling batch testing

ACCUPROBE GROUP B Streptococcus Culture Identification Test - For the identification of Group B Streptococcus (Streptococcus agalactiae) isolated from culture. ACCUPROBE GROUP B Streptococcus Culture Identification Test is CE marked for In Vitro Diagnostic Use.
The ACCUPROBE GROUP B STREPTOCOCCUS CULTURE IDENTIFICATION TEST was compared to standard culture biochemical identification methods using 299 isolates of the Group B Streptococcus species and 419 other bacterial isolates from 16 genera. Standard identification methods include Gram stain, catalase reaction, PYR and CAMP tests. The isolates were categorized as either positive ( ≥50,000 RLU) or negative (<50,000 RLU). The range of observations for negative cultures was 221 to 8,800 RLU and 56,300 to 1,360,000 RLU for positive cultures. A comparison of these results to standard culture identification methods is shown below.
