Human Streptococcus agalactiae Isolate in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Streptococcus agalactiae, the Lancefield group B streptococcus (GBS) long recognized as a mammalian pathogen, is an emerging concern with regard to fish. We show that a GBS serotype Ia multilocus sequence type ST-7 isolate from a clinical case of human neonatal meningitis caused disease and death in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).
متن کاملcharacterization of afb, a novel bifunctional protein in streptococcus agalactiae
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 ...
متن کاملStreptococcus agalactiae
Streptococcus agalactiae, a unique bacterium commonly referred to as group B streptococcus (GBS), is evolving to become a major pathogen that causes a wide variety of problems across a broad spectrum of individuals. The greatest controversy over this bacterium involves the obstetrical patient. Lawyers have made this organism a centerpiece, leading their clients to believe that the presence of G...
متن کاملIdentification of a virulence-related surface protein XF in piscine Streptococcus agalactiae by pre-absorbed immunoproteomics
BACKGROUND Since 2009, large-scale Streptococcus agalactiae infections have broken out in cultured tilapia farms in China, resulting in considerable economic losses. Screening of the surface proteins is required to identify virulence factors or protective antigens involved in piscine S.agalactiae infections in tilapia. Pre-absorbed immunoproteomics method (PAIM) is a useful method previously es...
