Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococcus [GBS]) is a pathogen that causes meningoencephalitis in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Here, we reported the complete genome sequence of S. agalactiae strain ZQ0910, which was isolated from the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia in Guangdong, China.

the sip gene encoding for a conserved highly immunogenic surface protein of streptococcus agalactiae was amplified using polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and subcloned into prokaryotic expression vector pet32a (+) and expressed as a recombinant protein in e. coli bl21 (de3). an indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was developed using the purified sip protein as a coating antigen, w...

The antibacterial activity and mechanism of berberine against Streptococcus agalactiae were investigated in this study by analyzing the growth, morphology and protein of the S. agalactiae cells treated with berberine. The antibacterial susceptibility test result indicated minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) of berberine against Streptococcus agalactiae was 78 μg/mL and the time-kill curves s...

We present a case of meningitis and endocarditis caused by Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococcus) in an adult patient with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. To our knowledge, only four other cases of meningitis, none of which had concomitant endocarditis, have been reported so far. A 45-year-old homosexual patient presented with fever, confusion, and signs of meningeal irr...

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 ...

The aim of this work was to study and compare macrolide resistance patterns among Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus agalactiae and Streptococcus pyogenes, to describe the phenotypes of macrolide-lincosamide resistance and to further investigate associations between macrolide resistance and social clustering. Susceptibility data were obtained from 4 clinical microbiology laboratories in Ba...
