Abstract excerpt
Phylogenetic lineages of pathogenic Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococci [GBS]) can be identified by analysis of restriction-digestion patterns (RDPs) of chromosomal DNA. The purpose of the present study was to correlate GBS RDP types and (1) alleles of the highly conserved gene encoding translation-initiation factor IF2, infB, and/or (2) the inserted elements IS1548 and GBSi1. Only 1 combination of...
