Table 1.
Summary of serotypes, sequence types (ST) and clonal complexes (CC) detected amongst GBS isolates identified from 96 swabs after RAPD PCR assay was applied. The results summarise contribution of each serotype and ST observed (%) to the total number of swabs observed with one, two, three, four, or five RAPD patterns.
| Serotype and CC/ST | 1 RAPD |
2 RAPD |
