2 Aug 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS) is a common pathogen to infect newborn, woman, the elderly, and immuno-compromised human and fish. 37 fish isolates and 554 human isolates of the GBS in 2007-2012 were investigated in serotypes, antibiotic susceptibility, genetic difference and pathogenicity to tilapia. RESULTS: PCR serotyping determined serotype Ia for all fish GBS isolates and only in 3.2 % (3-4.2 %)...
