Serotype distribution and molecular characterization of nonhemolytic and nonpigmented group B Streptococcus isolates in a southern Taiwan local hospital
2024-11-08
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Group B streptococci (GBS) are Gram-positive bacteria that are a leading cause of neonatal infections. Most invasive isolates are β-hemolytic, and hemolytic activity is critical for GBS virulence. Although nonhemolytic GBS strains are occasionally isolated, they are often thought to be virulence attenuated. Recent studies have observed that many nonhemolytic and nonpigmented (NH/NP) str...
