Abstract

Streptococcus agalactiae is commonly known as Group B Streptococcus (GBS) and it is a most common cause of life-threatening bacterial infection. GBS first considered as veterinary pathogen causing mastitis in cattle, later become a human pathogen for severe neonatal infections. In this study, a total of 20 new clinical isolates of S. agalactiae were collected from male (6), and female patient (14) with different age group. The isolates were from Urinary tract infection (UTI), blood, pus and eye ulcer.  All the 20 S. agalactiae isolates were identified by serogrouping and MALTI-TOF-MS analysis. Antibiotic susceptibility/resistance test was performed for 20 S. agalactiae isolates, off these phenotypic resistance pattern showed for tetracycline, vancomycin, ampicillin and penicillin.
