Increasing trend of invasive group B streptococcal infections, Marseille, France.
TO THE EDITOR—We read with interest the article by Lamagni et al that describes a steady rise from 700–800 to 1652 per annum during the 1991–2010 period of invasive group B streptococcus (GBS) infections in England and Wales, most pronounced among adults [1]. This was identified based on routine microbiology laboratory reports undertaken across these countries through an automated biosurveillan...
متن کاملNeonatal infections: group B streptococcus.
INTRODUCTION One in four women carry group B streptococci vaginally, which can infect the amniotic fluid even if the membranes are intact, or can infect the baby during delivery, causing sepsis, pneumonia, or meningitis. Very-low-birthweight infants are at much higher risk of infection or mortality, with up to 3% infected, and mortality rates of up to 30% even with immediate antibiotic treatmen...
متن کاملIncidence and severity of invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae, group A Streptococcus, and group B Streptococcus infections among pregnant and postpartum women.
BACKGROUND The epidemiology of streptococcal infection in pregnant and postpartum women is poorly described in recent literature. We used data from multistate surveillance for invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae, group A Streptococcus (GAS), and group B Streptococcus (GBS) infections to estimate disease incidence and severity in these populations. METHODS Cases were reported through the Centers...
متن کاملGenomic Analysis Reveals Multi-Drug Resistance Clusters in Group B Streptococcus CC17 Hypervirulent Isolates Causing Neonatal Invasive Disease in Southern Mainland China
Neonatal invasive disease caused by group B Streptococcus (GBS) represents a significant public health care concern globally. However, data related to disease burden, serotype distribution, and molecular epidemiology in China and other Asian countries are very few and specifically relative to confined regions. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic characteristics of GBS isolates ...
متن کاملPathogenesis of neonatal group B streptococcal infections.
Infections of the neonate due to the group B Streptococcus have been recognized since the 1930s, but it was during the 1970s that their incidence grew alarmingly throughout the world. A research effort stimulated by this problem has yielded significant new information about many facets of the pathogenesis of these infections. Immunologic investigations have pinpointed a lack of transplacentally...
