| comparative studies on group-b streptococci isolated from bovine milk samples in thuringia and hesse. | in this study, 133 streptococci of serological group b, which were isolated from bovine milk samples in thuringia and hesse, were serotyped and further characterized. serotyping of 99 group b streptococci from thuringia revealed mainly the antigen patterns iii, iv, iv/x and nt/x, and serotyping of the cultures from hesse revealed mainly the antigen patterns iv, iv/x and nt/c alpha. the occurrence of polysaccharide- and protein-type antigens appeared to be related to various other characteristics ... | 1995 | 8594856 |
| determination of epidemiological relationships of streptococcus agalactiae isolated from bovine mastitis. | in the present study 79 streptococcal cultures isolated from subclinical mastitis of 54 cows from seven dairy farms (a-g) in hesse, germany, were comparatively investigated using conventional and molecular methods. the isolates could be identified as streptococcus agalactiae, belonging to lancefield's serological group b by determination of cultural, biochemical and serological properties and by polymerase chain reaction (pcr)-mediated amplification of species-specific parts of the 16s ribosomal ... | 2003 | 13129612 |
