agalactiae

My current research focuses on Streptococcus agalactiae group B streptococcus, GBS, a bacterium that is the leading cause of neonatal meningitis in the United States.

I wrote here that pili–long, filamentous surface molecules involved in adhesion and bacterial “sex”–had recently been discovered in gram positive organisms; pecifically, in group A and B streptococci Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus agalactiae, respectively, using a genomics approach.

Mathematical extrapolation of the data suggests that the gene reservoir available for inclusion in the S. agalactiae pan-genome is vast and that unique genes will continue to be identified even after sequencing hundreds of genomes.
