Antibiotic susceptibility profile of group B streptococcus (Streptococcus agalactiae) at the Maternity Hospital, Kuwait.
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to determine the antibiotic susceptibility profile of clinical isolates of group B streptococcus(GBS, Streptococcus agalactiae) and to use the information for formulating appropriate intrapartum antibiotic policy for GBS carriage in pregnancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 1,166 clinical isolates (single isolates) of GBS obtained from vaginal/rectal sampl...
متن کاملToxicity of group B Streptococcus agalactiae in adult rats.
Several strains of group B Streptococcus agalactiae were found to be lethal for young adult rats. When bacteria were heat killed and then injected intraperitoneally into rats, rapid death (14 to 18 h) of the rats occurred, characterized by labored breathing, hemolyzed serum, hemoglobinuria, and subungual hemorrhages. Sections of tissues from these rats failed to reveal the cause of death. Rats ...
متن کاملcharacterization of afb, a novel bifunctional protein in streptococcus agalactiae
background and objectives: streptococcus agalactiae is the leading cause of bacterial sepsis and meningitis in newborns and results in pneumonia and bacteremia in adults. a number of s. agalactiae components are involved in colonization of target cells. destruction of peptidoglycan and division of covalently linked daughter cells is mediated by autolysins. in this study, autolytic activity and ...
متن کاملLocalization of surface immunogenic protein on group B streptococcus.
The localization and accessibility of the group B streptococcus (GBS) surface immunogenic protein (Sip) at the surface of intact GBS cells were studied by flow cytometric assay and immunogold electron microscopy. Antibodies present in pooled sera collected from mice after immunization with purified recombinant Sip efficiently recognized native Sip at the surfaces of the different GBS strains te...
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...
