متن کامل[Streptococcus agalactiae endocarditis].
Streptococcus agalactiae endocarditis is a rare clinical entity that is generally characterized by acute onset, the presence of large vegetations, rapid valvular destruction and frequent complications, particularly embolization. Mortality is high with medical therapy alone. The authors present a case report of Streptococcus agalactiae endocarditis in a young patient treated by prompt surgery. T...

متن کاملAerobic metabolism of Streptococcus agalactiae.
Streptococcus agalactiae cultures possess an aerobic pathway for glucose oxidation that is strongly inhibited by cyanide. The products of glucose oxidation by aerobically grown cells of S. agalactiae 50 are lactic and acetic acids, acetylmethylcarbinol, and carbon dioxide. Glucose degradation products by aerobically grown cells, as percentage of glucose carbon, were 52 to 61% lactic acid, 20 to...
متن کاملStreptococcus agalactiae in relapsing cellulitis.
To the Editor—We read with interest the report by Del Giudice et al. [1] about a case of relapsing erysipelas caused by Streptococcus agalactiae. Molecular analyses of the strains, which were isolated from skin and vaginal specimens during 2 episodes, revealed identical restriction patterns, leading the authors to suggest that vaginal carriage of S. agalactiae served as a reservoir for relapsin...
