Extracellular virulence factors of group B Streptococci

1 Jan 2004

Abstract excerpt

Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is the leading cause of severe bacterial infections in human newborn infants. Advances in streptococcal molecular genetics and refinement of in vitro and in vivo model systems of GBS disease have led to the discovery and characterization of several extracellular virulence factors elaborated by this pathogen. This review summarizes our current understanding of GBS extracellular...
