Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is one of the most common bacteria isolated in human chorioamnionitis, which is a major risk factor for premature birth and brain injuries. Males are at greater risk than females for developing lifelong neurobehavioural disord
Conclusions There was a high erythromycin resistance rate among the GBS strains isolated in Beijing and Guangzhou, and the cross resistance to Macrolide Lincosamide Streptogramin B (MLS B) antibiotics was severe,which indicated that repeated use of MLS B antibiotics should be avoided in clinical ...

Group C, Strep. zooepidemicus, can cause disease in the laboratory mouse and is also responsible for cervical lymphadenitis in guinea pigs. Streptococcus zooepidemicus colonizes the oropharynx, invading the deeper soft tissues through mucosal abrasions and lymphatics, and causes suppurative adenitis of ...
