Abstract

ABSTRACT Characterization of Streptococcus agalactiae serotype III isolates revealed a subtype 4 clone that has an indistinguishable pulsed-field gel electrophoresis pattern and possesses a C-α protein, IS 1381 , and a novel sequence type (ST), ST 283, by multilocus sequence tagging. This clone was significantly associated with diseases caused by invasive strains from nonpregnant adults ( P ≤ 0.01, chi-square test) and was not present in the genital tracts of pregnant mothers.
