Abstract

The collection of group В streptococcal clinical strains has been analyzed for the presence of genes encoding for putative adherence and aggregation factors. The presence of the genes designated as sspB1 and sspB2 were tested by PCR and DNA hybridization. The genes under study located in GBS genome on “pathogenicity islands” were found to be heterogeneous and could be associated with urological or invasive diseases. No significant correlation between the GBS serotype and sspB genes pattern have been discovered.
