| Description: | Gram-positive nonmotile bacterium. Streptococcus agalactiae is the
leading cause of bacterial sepsis, pneumoniae and meningitidis in
neonates in U.S. and Europe. It usually behaves as a commensal
organism that colonizes the gastrointestinal or genital tract.
Serotype III is important because it causes a significant percentage
of early-onset disease and the majority of late-onset disease.
Overall this serotype is responsible for 80% of neonatal meningitidis
of Lancefield's group B.
