Neonatal meningitis due to Streptococcus agalactiae [PDF]

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1968
HAEMOLYTIC streptococci were first subdivided into groups by precipitation of specific carbohydrate (Lancefield, 1933, 1934). It soon became apparent that most serious streptococcal infections were caused by organisms of Group A. Although organisms of Group B were known to cause mastitis in cattle there was little evidence of pathogenic activity in man.

Streptococcus agalactiae Native Valve Endocarditis: Uncommon Presentation of Multiple Myeloma

Acta Médica Portuguesa, 2016
Adults with chronic immunosuppressive conditions are at an increased risk for Streptococcus agalactiae endocarditis, which is typically characterized by acute onset, presence of large vegetations, rapid valvular destruction and frequent complications. We

Host range, morphological and genomic characterisation of bacteriophages with activity against clinical Streptococcus agalactiae isolates

PLoS ONE, 2020
Streptococcus agalactiae or Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of sepsis in neonates. As a preventative measure prophylactic antibiotic administration is common in pregnant women colonised with GBS, but antibiotic-resistance and adverse ...

Group B Streptococcus maternal colonization and neonatal sepsis in Belgium between 2012 and 2021: a description of the epidemiological situation and identification of risk factors

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth
Background Group B Streptococcus (GBS) infection is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity. Maternal rectovaginal GBS colonization is a primary risk factor for early onset neonatal GBS infection. In Belgium, pregnant women are screened and, if positive or

An investigation into the effects of Streptococcus agalactiae on the 5-HT system and the behavior of GIFT tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Aquaculture Reports, 2019
Meningitis is a characteristic clinical manifestation in GIFT tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) infected with Streptococcus agalactiae. Fish that are infected with Streptococcus agalactiae and survive often show neurological disorders, such as constant ...

Subspecies typing of Streptococcus agalactiae based on ribosomal subunit protein mass variation by MALDI-TOF MS [PDF]

, 2019
Background: A ribosomal subunit protein (rsp)-based matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) method was developed for fast subspecies-level typing of Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus, GBS),

Phenotype, genotype and pathogenicity of Streptococcus agalactiae isolated from cultured tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) in Taiwan.

Journal of Fish Diseases, 2020
Tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) is globally used as an aquaculture fish species due to its high growth rate and disease resistance. However, it faces an increased risk of streptococcosis. Streptococcus agalactiae, also known as group B streptococcus (GBS), is

Conjugative transfer of ICESde3396 between three β-hemolytic streptococcal species [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Integrative conjugative elements (ICEs) are mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that possess all genes necessary for excision, transfer and integration into recipient genome. They also carry accessory genes that impart new phenotypic features to
