Asmaa Tazi,Asmaa Tazi,Olivier Disson,Olivier Disson,Samuel Bellais,Samuel Bellais,Abdelouhab Bouaboud,Abdelouhab Bouaboud,Nicolas Dmytruk,Shaynoor Dramsi,Michel-Yves Mistou,Huot Khun,Charlotte Mechler,Isabelle Tardieux,Isabelle Tardieux,Patrick Trieu-Cuot,Marc Lecuit,Marc Lecuit,Marc Lecuit,Claire Poyart +19 more
TL;DR: Lethal meningitis triggered by the hypervirulent group B streptococcus clone ST-17 is mediated by a novel surface protein called HvgA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiplex PCR Assay for Rapid and Accurate Capsular Typing of Group B Streptococci
Claire Poyart,Asmaa Tazi,Hélène Réglier-Poupet,Annick Billoët,Nicole Tavares,Josette Raymond,Patrick Trieu-Cuot +6 more
TL;DR: A simple, specific, and sensitive two-multiplex-PCR assay that enabled the detection of all known group B streptococcal capsular polysaccharides and well adapted for GBS capsularpolysaccharide typing in large-scale epidemiological studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid detection of the "highly virulent" group B Streptococcus ST-17 clone.

TL;DR: In conclusion, an ST-17-specific gbs2018 allele was identified and used to develop a sensitive and specific rapid-screening molecular assay for identifying ST- 17 "highly virulent" GBS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Invasive group B streptococcal infections in infants, France.
Claire Poyart,Hélène Réglier-Poupet,Asmaa Tazi,Annick Billoët,Nicolas Dmytruk,Philippe Bidet,Edouard Bingen,Josette Raymond,Patrick Trieu-Cuot +8 more
TL;DR: Clinical features and molecular characterization of 109 group B streptococci causing neonatal invasive infections were determined over an 18-month period in France, and the hypervirulent clone ST-17 was recovered in 80% of meningitis cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Group B streptococcus neonatal invasive infections, France 2007–2012
Caroline Joubrel,Asmaa Tazi,A. Six,A. Six,A. Six,Nicolas Dmytruk,Gérald Touak,Philippe Bidet,Josette Raymond,P. Trieu Cuot,P. Trieu Cuot,Agnès Fouet,Solen Kernéis,Claire Poyart +13 more
TL;DR: LOD represents almost 60% of cases of neonatal GBS disease in France and other countries in which IAP has been implemented, reinforcing the need to develop new prevention strategies targeting CC17, which is predominant in GBS neonatal infections.
