Quorum sensing in group A Streptococcus [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014 Quorum sensing (QS) is a widespread phenomenon in the microbial world that has important implications in the coordination of population-wide responses in several bacterial pathogens. In Group A Streptococcus (GAS), many questions surrounding QS systems remain to be solved pertaining to their function and their contribution to the GAS lifestyle in the ...

Streptococcus difficile is a nonhemolytic group B, type Ib streptococcus [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1997 Whole-cell protein electrophoretic analysis of the type strain of Streptococcus difficile (LMG 15799) revealed that this organism was indistinguishable from Streptococcus agalactiae strains. Although LMG 15799T (T = type strain) was originally described as serologically untypeable, we found that this strain was a group B streptococcus belonging to the ...
