Abstract

The performances of the ESwab and Amies transport media were evaluated for optimal survival of group B streptococcus (GBS) in StrepB carrot broth. ESwab was superior to Amies at all temperatures evaluated but was optimal at 21° C and 24° C, whereas recovery in Amies was significantly decreased at these temperatures.
