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 of
25-40 % of healthy women, but it can cause life-threatening invasive
infection in susceptible hosts.
Strains of capsular serotype V were rarely isolated before the mid- 1980s but now account for approximately one-third of clinical isolates in the U.S. |
Properties: | Number of membranes : 1 Presence of a flagella : No Number of inteins : 0 |
