The illumigene Group B Streptococcus (GBS) assay, performed on the illumipro-10, is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic for the detection of Streptococcus agalactiae in enriched cultures obtained from vaginal/rectal swab specimens from antepartum women. Enriched cultures are obtained by 18-24 hour incubation of vaginal/rectal swab specimens in selective broth medium, either Lim Broth, TransVag Broth or Carrot Broth. The illumigene GBS assay utilizes loop-mediated isothermal DNA amplification (LAMP) technology to detect Streptococcus agalactiae by targeting a segment of the Streptococcus agalactiae genome. Results from the illumigene GBS assay can be used as an aid in establishing the GBS colonization status of antepartum women. This assay does not diagnose or monitor treatment for GBS infections.
