Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of zinc chloride required to inhibit GBS growth across colonizing or invasive strains of capsular serotype III (cpsIII) isolates. Analysis of susceptibility to zinc-associated growth inhibition in invasive vs. clinical isolates of Group B Streptococcus (GBS). GBS strains isolated from colonized patients, or patients experiencing invasive disease were grown in increasing concentrations of zinc chloride and mean MIC was calculated. Mann-Whitney U test revealed no statistically significant differences between colonizing and invasive strains of the cpsIII cohort (P = 0.4401). Dotted line indicates upper limit of detection
