Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic basis for the beta-haemolytic/cytolytic activity of group B Streptococcus.
Craig A. Pritzlaff,Jennifer C. W. Chang,Shrin P. Kuo,Glen S. Tamura,Craig E. Rubens,Victor Nizet +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that cylE probably represents the structural gene for the GBS haemolysin/cytolysin, a novel bacterial toxin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parental responses to involvement in rounds on a pediatric inpatient unit at a teaching hospital: a qualitative study.
TL;DR: Being able to communicate, understand the plan, and participate with the team in decision making about their child's care were the most frequently cited outcomes of importance to parents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphisms of the insertion sequence IS1381 in group B Streptococci.
Glen S. Tamura,Michael Herndon,Julie Przekwas,Craig E. Rubens,Patricia Ferrieri,Sharon L. Hillier +5 more
TL;DR: Group B streptococci (GBS) are typed by capsular polysaccharide type and insertion patterns of IS1381 are an effective tool for subtyping GBS.
Book ChapterDOI
In vitro systems for investigating group B streptococcal : host cell and extracellular matrix interactions
TL;DR: In the laboratory, in vitro systems to emulate certain events during the colonization and invasion of host epithelial cell tissues by GBS are constructed and a relevant model to investigate certain aspects of GBS adherence and invasion into the placental membrane is established.
