[invasive streptococcus agalactiae infections at a general university hospital over a 10-year period].streptococcus agalactiae is a known causal agent of neonatal meningitis, sepsis and puerperal infections. the incidence of invasive infections caused by streptococcus agalactiae has increased in recent years in non gestating adults: in the elderly, patients receiving prolonged steroid treatment or those with chronic immunosuppressive diseases. the clinical and epidemiological characteristics and risk factors associated to invasive infections caused by s. agalactiae were analyzed.19968744369
[neonatal infections by streptococcus agalactiae].the objectives of the study were to evaluate: 1) the incidence and characteristics of neonatal infections by s. agalactiae in the hospital sant joan de déu of barcelona, 2) the efficiency of a microbiological control during the third quarter of pregnancy in order to detect colonization by this microorganism; and 3) the efficiency of intrapartum prophylaxis.19968967644
[neonatal infection by streptococcus agalactiae. multicenter study in the area of barcelona, spain].streptococcus agalactiae or streptococcus group b (sgb) is the main etiologic agent of early neonatal sepsis. a multicenter study was performed with the aim of determining the incidence and characteristics of this disease in our medium and contribute the design of an adequate prevention protocol.19989808880
[decreasing incidence of perinatal group b streptococcal disease (barcelona 1994-2002). relation with hospital prevention policies].to analyze the incidence of perinatal sepsis due to group b streptococcus (gbs) as related to compliance with recommendations for its prevention issued by the catalan societies for obstetrics, for pediatrics, and for infectious diseases and clinical microbiology in 1997.200312681128

group b streptococci causing neonatal infections in barcelona are a stable clonal population: 18-year surveillance.we analyzed 212 group b streptococci (gbs) from newborns with invasive infections in the area of barcelona, spain, between 1992 and 2009, with the aim of documenting changes in the prevalences of serotypes, antimicrobial resistance, and genetic lineages and evaluating their associations with either early-onset disease (eod) or late-onset disease (lod). serotypes iii (n = 118) and ia (n = 47) together accounted for nearly 78% of the isolates. all isolates carried an alpha or alpha-like protein ge ...201121697333
