Phylogenetic Lineages of Invasive and Colonizing Strains of Serotype III Group B Streptococci from Neonates: a Multicenter Prospective Study
1 Apr 2006
Abstract excerpt
This study compares the phylogenetic lineages of invasive serotype III group B streptococci (GBS) to those of colonizing strains in order to determine lineages associated with invasive disease. Isolates from 29 infants with early-onset disease (EOD) and from 196 colonized infants, collected in a prospective, multicenter study, were assigned a sequence type (ST) by multilocus sequence typing. Overall, 54.5% of the...
