Immune Response to Invasive Group B Streptococcus Disease in Adults
Immunization of nonpregnant adults could help prevent invasive group B Streptococcus (GBS) infections, but adult immune responses have not been investigated. We defined capsular polysaccharide (CPS) and pilus island (PI) surface antigen distribution and expression and immune responses to GBS infection in nonpregnant adults. Prospective surveillance from 7 hospitals in Houston, Texas, USA, ident...

متن کاملPreterm infants have deficient monocyte and lymphocyte cytokine responses to group B streptococcus.
Group B streptococcus (GBS) is an important cause of early- and late-onset sepsis in the newborn. Preterm infants have markedly increased susceptibility and worse outcomes, but their immunological responses to GBS are poorly defined. We compared mononuclear cell and whole-blood cytokine responses to heat-killed GBS (HKGBS) of preterm infants (gestational age [GA], 26 to 33 weeks), term infants,...
متن کاملGroup B Streptococcus highly resistant to gentamicin.
Sir, Antibiotic resistance in the group B Streptococcus (GBS) is not widely appreciated and many clinical laboratories do not undertake full antibiotic susceptibility tests of clinical isolates. However, antibiotic combinations such as a penicillin plus gentamicin are often used to manage severe GBS infection , exposing patients to enhanced risk of antibiotic-related toxicity whilst attempting ...
متن کاملIn vitro Activity of Solithromycin (CEM-101) Against Macrolide-resistant Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus)
Introduction: Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus or GBS), now recognized as a qualified infectious disease pathogen (QIDP) by the FDA, remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among infants in the United States. Although the incidence of GBS in pregnancy has decreased, penicillin and ampicillin minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for GBS have risen, requiring highe...
