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.
