Evaluation of the Ability of Streptococcus agalactiae Strains Isolated from Genital and Neonatal Specimens To Bind to Human Fibrinogen and Correlation with Characteristics of the fbsA and fbsB Genes

The ability of 111 Streptococcus agalactiae strains to bind to human fibrinogen was quantified. We correlated the percentages of bacteria that bound to immobilized fibrinogen with fibrinogen-binding (fbs) gene characteristics of strains and with clinical origin, serotypes, and phylogenetic positions...
