Abstract: We validated a modified enrichment broth that changes its color when group B Streptococcus (GBS) grows. No GBS was detected in any of the non-yellow samples. Thus, the non-yellow samples were considered GBS-negative without conducting further examinations, potentially reducing medical costs and workload.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest All authors report no conflicts of interest relevant to this article.<br /> (Copyright © 2024.
