13. Removal of Group B Streptococci Colonizing the Vagina and Oropharynx of Mice with a Bacteriophage Lytic Enzyme
Group B streptococci (GBS) are the leading cause of neonatal meningitis and sepsis worldwide. The current treatment strategy is limited to intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis in pregnant women to prevent early-onset neonatal diseases, but considering the potential for antibiotic resistance, the risk of losing control over the disease is high. To approach this

14. Comparison of a modified DNA hybridization assay with standard culture enrichment for detecting group B streptococci in obstetric patients.
Infection with group B streptococcus (GBS) results in 12,000 to 15,000 cases of neonatal sepsis annually in the United States. GBS is transmitted vertically in up to 70% of infants born to colonized women. Early-onset GBS disease (septicemia, pneumonia, or meningitis occurring within 7 days of life) has a mortality rate of up to 50%, with permanent neurologi

15. Cytokine Responses to Group B Streptococci Induce Nitric Oxide Production in Respiratory Epithelial Cells
Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococcus [GBS]) is a leading cause of neonatal pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis. Early-onset GBS pneumonia is characterized by marked pulmonary epithelial and endothelial cell injury. Innate proinflammatory responses to GBS infection that may contribute to the respiratory pathology include the synthesis and release of
