Molecular epidemiology of group B streptococci in Ireland reveals a diverse population with evidence of capsular switching.

European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology - 1 Jul 2014

Meehan Mary, Cunney Robert, Cafferkey Mary

Abstract excerpt

The molecular epidemiology of group B Streptococcus (GBS) in Ireland was investigated. Invasive (n = 132) and non-invasive (n = 45) isolates, collected in 2007-2011, were analysed by multilocus locus sequence typing, capsular polysaccharide (CPS) serotyping, profiling of surface proteins, pilus islands (PI), and antimicrobial susceptibility. Isolates grouped into 45 sequence types and five main clonal complexes...
