A marked increase in the isolation of Group B streptococci from patients in the University Hospital, Saskatoon, has been noted over the past four years, and no change in technical methods has been found to explain this increase. Group B streptococci have been isolated from 242 patients, in 53 of whom the streptococcus was considered the cause of the infection. Infections occurred predominantly in the urinary tract, female genital tract and upper respiratory tract. There was a low incidence of infections in newborn infants, and only four infections were in patients under 1 year old. Infections were more frequent in women than men and in patients over 40 years of age. No particular affinity of Group B streptococci for diabetics was demonstrated.
在过去四年中,萨斯卡通大学医院从患者身上分离出的B族链球菌显著增加,且未发现技术方法的改变能解释这一增长。已从242名患者身上分离出B族链球菌,其中53例患者的感染被认为由该链球菌引起。感染主要发生在泌尿系统、女性生殖道和上呼吸道。新生儿感染发生率较低,1岁以下患者仅有4例感染。女性比男性感染更频繁,40岁以上患者感染也更频繁。未证明B族链球菌对糖尿病患者有特殊亲和力。
