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 کاملCombining Microarray Technology and Molecular Epidemiology to Identify Genes Associated with Invasive Group B Streptococcus
Many bacterial species function as both commensals and pathogens; we used this dual nature to develop a high-throughput molecular epidemiological approach to identifying bacterial virulence genes. We applied our approach to Group B Streptococcus (GBS). Three representative commensal and one invasive GBS isolates were selected as tester strains from a population-based collection. We used microar...
متن کاملSerotype-specific mortality from invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae disease revisited
BACKGROUND Invasive infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococci) causes significant morbidity and mortality. Case series and experimental data have shown that the capsular serotype is involved in the pathogenesis and a determinant of disease outcome. METHODS Retrospective review of 464 cases of invasive disease among adults diagnosed between 1990 and 2001. Multivariate Cox proportion...
متن کاملBlueberry Muffin Rash in a Patient with Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn Due to Anti-Cw
Blueberry muffin rash is a characteristic multiple bluish skin nodules associated with perinatal infection, severe and chronic anemia, and neoplastic infiltrative diseases. We present an unusually severe case of hemolytic disease of the newborn. He required exchange transfusions for several times. The complete work up led to the diagnosis of anti-Cw. The skin lesion regressed spontaneously with...
متن کاملInvasive Disease and Toxic Shock due to Zoonotic Streptococcus suis: An Emerging Infection in the East?
S treptococcus suis (S. suis) is widely recognised in the veterinary world as a cause of rapidly progressive and fatal sepsis in infant pigs, associated with meningitis, polyarthritis, and, occasionally, pneumonia. A more fulminant bacteraemic infection is seen in neonatal pigs [1,2]. For reasons that are unknown, adult pigs do not succumb to this infection, although they demonstrate asymptomat...
