1 Sept 2000
Abstract excerpt
Septic arthritis is a clinical manifestation of group B streptococcal (GBS) infection in neonates and adults. To examine the potential role of GBS beta-hemolysin in joint injury, mice were infected with 2 wild-type strains or with nonhemolytic (NH) or hyperhemolytic (HH) variants derived by transposon mutagenesis.
