Sudden Increase in Isolation of Group B Streptococci, Serotype V, Is Not Due to Emergence of a New Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis Type
1 Jul 1998
Abstract excerpt
Until recently, group B streptococcus, serotype V (GBS-V), was an infrequent cause of disease. It is now recognized as a significant cause of infections in both children and adults. To determine if this increase was due to the recent introduction and spread of a single clone of GBS-V, we analyzed, by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), the SmaI chromosomal DNA digests of 45 bacteria: 41 isolated from human...
