A member asked:

Is this result positive or negative? tests: strep b microbiology source vaginal description swab strep b culture strep agalactiae (grp b) not isolated

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Looks negative: In a lab culture looking for germs such as viruses or bacteria, NOT ISOLATED means the test did not grow out the germ it was looking for. That would mean negative.
