title: [Serotyping of group B streptococcus in microbiological samples at the Robert-Ballanger hospital].
abstract: From February to September 1993, we have established the serotype of group B Streptococcus (GBS) taken from diverse microbiological samples, in particular from gastric liquids. The method utilized was a technic of coagglutination (Dako Group B Streptococcus Serotyping Test, France) allowing the search for serotypes Ia, Ib, II, III, IV and V. All in all, 169 samples have been tested: 117 vaginal samples, 17 diverse samples, 26 gastric samples, 3 placentas and 7 ammmiotic liquids. Serotypes are spread as follow: III (41), II (33), Ia (26) et V (23).... Usually, serotype III was the most frequently found and the most virulent, particularly in infections in neonates.
