متن کاملInteraction of soluble fibronectin with group B streptococci.
Fibronectin binds to a variety of bacterial species, and we hypothesized that differential fibronectin binding might influence the invasive potential of group B streptococci (GBS). Human plasma fibronectin purified by a standard two-step chromatographic procedure was radiolabeled with 3H. Fifty GBS strains (invasive, colonizing, or bovine) representing serotypes Ia (10 strains), Ib (6 strains),...
متن کاملGroup B streptococci--gastrointestinal organisms?

GBS recovery rates were as follows: perianal skin 31/115 (27%), rectal mucosa 18/72 (25%) and faeces 7/115 (6%). The recovery of GBS from faeces was similar to that obtained from faecal...
