Streptococcus agalactiae was found to be the cause of approximately 1% of urinary tract infections in a London teaching hospital in the 2 years studied. Of the forty-eight patients with this infection, forty-three were female. In nine patients the infection followed renal transplantation while in nine others it occurred in the presence of chronic renal failure. The rest, who included seven females who developed the infection following hysterectomies, had other clinical conditions which could have predisposed to such infections. The rarity of urinary tract infection by S. agalactiae is in contrast to the high frequency with which the organism colonizes the normal urethra. Serotypes III and II were the predominant isolates in these patients with urinary tract infections; this corresponds to the distribution of the different serotypes in the genito-urinary tract of normal individuals.
在为期两年的研究中,伦敦一家教学医院发现无乳链球菌是约1%的尿路感染病例的病因。在这48例感染患者中,43例为女性。9例患者在肾移植后发生感染,另有9例在慢性肾衰竭情况下发生感染。其余患者包括7例在子宫切除术后发生感染的女性,她们有其他可能易引发此类感染的临床情况。无乳链球菌引起的尿路感染很罕见,这与该菌在正常尿道中高定植率形成对比。血清型III和II是这些尿路感染患者中的主要分离株;这与正常个体泌尿生殖道中不同血清型的分布情况相符。
