identification of the high-virulence clone of group b streptococci in mexican isolates by growth characteristics at 40 degrees c.	group b streptococci (gbs) colonizing the vagina and rectum of pregnant women cause invasive disease of the offspring in a small number of cases. the immune status of the host and differences in virulence among strains appear to be the main determinants for neonatal infection. a high-virulence clone (hvc) was proposed to cause much of the morbidity and mortality when a collection of gbs isolates was examined by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis. hvc isolates could be further distinguished by the ...	1999	9871112
serotypes of 286 group b streptococci isolated from asymptomatic carriers and invasive disease cases in mexico.	group b streptococcus (gbs) remains as a leading cause of neonatal sepsis and meningitis in developed countries, where type iii is the most common serotype. although gbs is considered an uncommon cause of perinatal pathology in mexico, a vaginal colonization rate of 14% in pregnant women and a neonatal infection rate of 1/1500 live births have been reported. the aim of this study was to determine the serotype distribution in a collection of 286 gbs strains isolated in mexico from asymptomatic ca ...	2005	17061543
