If you got that report. either you are not doing the appropriate culture or you are not telling your lab what you are culturing for or they have no idea of what the problem is. Your question to the lab should be "GBBS or No GBBS"??? Dan

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.
