N2 - We used 73 group B Streptococcus with reduced penicillin susceptibility (PRGBS) isolates and determined more rational cutoff values of previously developed disk diffusion method for detecting PRGBS using oxacillin, ceftizoxime, and ceftibuten disks. Using the novel cutoff values, the three disks showed high sensitivity and specificity, which were above 90.0%.
