NODARSE HERNANDEZ, Rafael  y  FUERTE CALVO, María Elena. Isolation of Group B Streptococcus in adult extragenital samples: an urgent localization. Rev Cub Med Mil [online]. 2007, vol.36, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3046.

Authors made a research to identify presence of Group B Streptococcus (EGB) in adult patients from samples of a extragenital origin non-associated with pregnancy. For identification of microorganism we used a classic scheme including tests of CAMP factor and hydrolysis of sodium Hypurate. Sensitivity to antibiotics by means of disc diffusion method was tested in vitro. A total of 2 085 samples were processed, from which it was possible to isolate 50 strains from Group B Streptococcus, representing a 2.3 % of isolation. Sample with a greater contribution was lower limb lesion (12; 24 %). Fifty eight percentage (58 %) of samples came from extra-hospital patients and remainder was of admitted cases, mainly in Angiology service (6; 12 %). Emergence of Group B Streptococcus as a pathogen in extragenital areas in adult patients was confirmed.
