We describe a hypervirulent clone of group B Streptococcus serotype III, subtype 4, sequence type 283, that caused invasive disease with a predilection for meningitis in Hong Kong during 1993-2012. The organism is associated with high mortality and increased summer prevalence and is linked to diseased fish from freshwater fish farms.
我们描述了一种B族链球菌血清型III、亚型4、序列型283的高毒力克隆株,该菌株在1993年至2012年期间在香港引发侵袭性疾病,且易导致脑膜炎。该病原体与高死亡率和夏季患病率增加相关,并且与淡水养鱼场的患病鱼类有关。
