| HAMAP: Streptococcus agalactiae serotype III complete proteome |
| Species code: | STRA3 |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Firmicutes; Lactobacillales; Streptococcaceae; Streptococcus (TaxID: 216495) [NEWT/ NCBI] |
| Description: | Streptococci are non-motile, Gram-positive cocci with widely varying pathogenic potential that occur in pairs or chains. Streptococcus agalactiae is a Gram-positive nonmotile bacterium which is the leading cause of bacterial sepsis, pneumoniae and meningitidis in neonates in U.S. and Europe. It usually behaves as a commensal organism that colonizes the gastrointestinal or genital tract. Serotype III is important because it causes a significant percentage of early-onset disease and the majority of late-onset disease. Overall this serotype is responsible for 80% of neonatal meningitidis of Lancefield's group B. |
