Regulatory role of interleukin-10 in experimental group B streptococcal arthritis.
Intravenous inoculation of CD-1 mice with 10(7) CFU of type IV group B Streptococcus (GBS) results in a high incidence of diffuse septic arthritis, associated with high levels of systemic and local production of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and IL-6. In this study, the role of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in the evolution of GBS systemic infection and arthritis was evaluated. IL-10 prod...
متن کاملGroup B Streptococcal Sepsis in a Newborn: a Case Report
Newborns’ bacterial infections due to group B Streptococcus (GBS) happen in two forms including early-onset disease or late-onset disease. In this paper, we report a case of early-onset GBS infection in a male infant. A 22-year-old primigravid woman delivers a term normal looking male infant. Nasal flaring, grunting, and poor feeding presented soon after birth. An empiric treatment wit...
متن کاملMechanisms of group B streptococcal-induced apoptosis of murine macrophages.
Apoptosis of murine and human macrophages induced by group B Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS) is likely an important virulence mechanism that is used by the bacteria to suppress the host immune response and to persist at sites of infection. The mechanisms by which GBS induces apoptosis are, however, largely unknown. In this study, we report that in murine macrophages GBS induces unique changes in...
متن کاملGroup B Streptococcal Infections.
Group B streptococcal disease remains a prominent cause of infectious morbidity in pregnant women and their infants. This article highlights recent developments that are relevant for obstetricians, perinatologists, and neonatologists caring for patients with group B streptococcal disease. The morbidity of group B streptococcal infections in pregnancy and the proposed association of colonization...
متن کاملGroup B Streptococcal Myocarditis
Bacterial myocarditis is an uncommon form of infectious myocarditis. The definitive diagnosis requires histopathology with evidence of bacterial invasion. We report a case of group B streptococcal myocarditis secondary to septicaemia with complete atrioventricular (AV) block and new left bundle branch block. The histopathology revealed patchy small foci of myocyte necrosis. The necrotic areas c...
