Nine GBS serotypes based on capsular polysaccharide antigens have been described. The serotype distributions among invasive and colonizing isolates differ between pediatric and adult populations and have changed over time. Thus, periodic monitoring of GBS serotype distributions is necessary to ensure the proper formulation and application of an appropriate GBS vaccine for human use and to detect the emergence of novel serotypes. Since the mid-1990s, the proportion of GBS isolates that are nontypeable by standard serologic methods has increased, creating a need for more sensitive typing methods. We describe a typing method that uses DNA dot blot hybridization with probes generated by PCR from the GBS capsular genes for serotypes Ia, Ib, and II to VIII. PCR primers were designed to amplify type-specific GBS capsular gene sequences. Gene probes were constructed from the PCR products and used to classify isolates based on hybridization profiles. A total of 306 previously serotyped invasive and colonizing isolates were used to compare our dot blot capsular typing (DBCT) identification method with Lancefield serotyping (LS). A dot blot capsular type was assigned to 99% (303 of 306) of the isolates, whereas 273 of 306 isolates (89%) were assigned a Lancefield serotype. The overall agreement between the methods was 95% (256 of 270 isolates typeable by both methods). We conclude that the DBCT method is a specific and useful alternative to the commonly used LS method.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/jcm.42.1.146-150.2004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,1,10]],"date-time":"2004-01-10T18:17:42Z","timestamp":1073758662000},"page":"146-150","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["Comparison of DNA Dot Blot Hybridization and Lancefield Capillary Precipitin Methods for Group B Streptococcal Capsular Typing"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Stephanie M.","family":"Borchardt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Betsy","family":"Foxman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Donald O.","family":"Chaffin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Pediatrics, Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center\/University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98105"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Craig E.","family":"Rubens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Pediatrics, Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center\/University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98105"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patricia A.","family":"Tallman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shannon D.","family":"Manning","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carol J.","family":"Baker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Molecular Virology and Microbiology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas 77030"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carl F.","family":"Marrs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.37.8.2564-2567.1999"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","first-page":"9","volume":"6","year":"2000","unstructured":"Berg, S., B.
