We assessed the performance of PhenoMatrix digital imaging software in detection of Group B Streptococcus from recto-vaginal swabs plated on a specific chromogenic medium, using the WASP automated processor. PhenoMatrix algorithm showed a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 64.5%. False-positive results were mainly due to commensal viridans streptococci.

Abstract

We assessed the performance of PhenoMatrix digital imaging software in detection of Group B Streptococcus from recto-vaginal swabs plated on a specific chromogenic medium, using the WASP automated processor. PhenoMatrix algorithm showed a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 64.5%. False-positive results were mainly due to commensal viridans streptococci.
