S. agalactiae is a member of normal flora that can be transferred to a neonate passing through the birth canal and can cause serious group B streptococcal infection. In the western world, S. agalactiae is the major cause of bacterial septicemia of the newborn, which can lead to death or long-term sequelae. Early-onset septicemia is more prone to be accompanied by pneumonia, while late-onset septicemia is more often accompanied by meningitis. Hearing loss can be a long-term sequela of GBS-meningitis. Infection with GBS is the cause of some instances of stillbirth.
AmpliSens® Streptococcus agalactiae-screen-titre-FRT kit can detect and quantify the DNA of S. agalactieae.
