Terrence, Selective media --yes appropriate transport media --don't know Rectal --one yes the other don't know.

I agree with your point about this being a protocol with known and anticipated false negatives and that prevention of many but not all GBS sepsis is to be expected. My point was that these babies did develope early GBS disease despite culture. If they had not been cultured, severe criticisms would have prevailed against the risk factor arm of the protocol and although suits are possible no matter what, I think it would be much more likely had cultures not been done.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
