P. 865, in the middle of the page, Beta-strep bullet now reads: *A Beta-strep culture can be done.

A culture can be taken by swabbing inside the lower third of the yoni. According to the CDC, another culture should be taken from the anorectum as well. Be sure no antibacterial perineal rinses have been used at the toilet before this test is done. More details on current CDC protocols for strep can be found in Diagnostic Tests.
