Streptococcus agalactiae is presently the commonest beta-haemolytic streptococcus isolated from clinical material in this hospital. Between October 1974 and March 1975, 81 patients with such infections were seen. Seventeen had urinary tract infections, six had septicaemia, and one neonate had meningitis. Three of those with septicaemia were neonates and two died. The organism was also found to be a cause of pyogenic skin conditions in five patients. Isolates from throat swabs in 12 patients, from sputum in four, and from the female genital tract in 18 were considered part of the normal flora. Human strains of Str. agalactiae were found to be biochemically different from animal strains.
无乳链球菌是目前从本院临床标本中分离出的最常见的β溶血性链球菌。1974年10月至1975年3月期间,共诊治了81例此类感染患者。其中17例患有尿路感染,6例患有败血症,1例新生儿患有脑膜炎。败血症患者中有3例为新生儿,2例死亡。该病菌还被发现是5例患者化脓性皮肤病的病因。12例患者的咽拭子、4例患者的痰液以及18例患者的女性生殖道分离出的菌株被认为是正常菌群的一部分。发现无乳链球菌的人类菌株在生化特性上与动物菌株不同。
