Klonierung, Sequenzierung und Charakterisierung der genetischen Determinante des CAMP-Faktors (=cbf-Gen) der Gruppe-B-Streptokokken (Streptococcus agalactiae)
… by Staphylococcus aureus (beta-toxin) and group B streptococci (Streptococcus agalactiae) was first described in 1944 by Christie et al.. This phenomenon is caused by the CAMP-factor, an extra-cellular protein which role pathogenicity and virulence is still unknown. The focus of this work …

Bacterial meningitis in neonates and children South Africa
… the neonatal period the causative organisms are: Group B streptococci, Gram - negative bacilli (e.g.: E. coli, Klebsiella spp, Enterobacter spp, Salmonella spp) and Listeria monocytogenes. In infants and children up to the age of 5 the most common causative organisms include: Streptococcus …

The frequency and characterization of streptococci in aerobic vaginitis (AV) and its association with pregnancy outcomes
… vaginitis (AV) -associated bacteria such as group B streptococci (GBS) and E. faecalis in pregnant women are regarded to be the leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity world-wide. The aim of the study was to detect the prevalence of AV and its associated bacteria with preterm …

The utility of a real-time PCR to detect Leptospira in a routine diagnostic setting
… observed that the rrs target was amplified with Group B streptococci as template but no other tested pathogens, while no non-specific amplification for lipL32 was observed. The non-specific amplification had been reported previously in the literature, suggesting the rrs gene is not a good target …

The adherence to group b streptococcus screening guidelines amongst pregnant women in Western Australia – A quantitative descriptive analysis
Colonisation with Group B Streptococci (GBS) is a major risk factor for neonatal infection acquired via vertical transmission during pregnancy, labour, or birth, potentially resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Universal screening at 35 – 37 weeks gestation for maternal GBS …

Studies of a Novel Phage Lytic Enzyme, PlySs2
… aureus (MRSA) and Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococci – GrAS) cause potentially fatal human diseases. These are just three of the many Gram-positive pathogens for which resistance to leading antibiotics has emerged. The goal of this work was to develop a novel antimicrobial …

Streptococcus agalactiae bei Schwangeren und Neugeborenen : Prävalenz und Transmission sowie Serotypen und molekulargenetische Charakteristika
Streptococcus agalactiae oder Gruppe B-Streptokokken (GBS) sind der führende Erreger der invasiven Neugeboreneninfektionen. Sie äußern sich als Sepsis, Meningitis oder Pneumonie und treten in ca. 80% der Fälle in den ersten 6 Lebenstagen auf, überwiegend innerhalb der ersten 24 Stunden nach der …
