My current research focuses on Streptococcus agalactiae group B streptococcus, GBS, a bacterium that is the leading cause of neonatal meningitis in the United States. ❋ Unknown (2010)
I wrote here that pili–long, filamentous surface molecules involved in adhesion and bacterial “sex”–had recently been discovered in gram positive organisms; pecifically, in group A and B streptococci Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus agalactiae, respectively, using a genomics approach. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Mathematical extrapolation of the data suggests that the gene reservoir available for inclusion in the S. agalactiae pan-genome is vast and that unique genes will continue to be identified even after sequencing hundreds of genomes. ❋ Unknown (2005)

S. pyogenes and S. agalactiae, a serial of 10 ml brain heart broth was inoculated with the overnight cultures, and then the cultures were incubated without shaking for 6 days. ❋ Yanmin Hu Et Al. (2010)
Streptococcus agalactiae is the primary colonizer of the anogenital mucosa of up to 30% of healthy women and can infect newborns during delivery and cause severe sepsis and meningitis. ❋ Cira Daniela Rinaudo Et Al. (2010)
Fig. 4, HT61 at 20 µg/ml reduced the CFU counts of S. pyogenes and S. agalactiae from log 6 to 0. ❋ Yanmin Hu Et Al. (2010)
