Urinary tract infection due to Group B Streptococcus: A case series from Eastern India

Srujana Mohanty et al. Clin Case Rep. .

Abstract

Group B Streptococcus (GBS) or Streptococcus agalactiae is an uncommon causative agent of urinary tract infection (UTI). We present a series of seven cases of UTI due to GBS from a tertiary care hospital of Eastern India, highlighting its emerging role in a hitherto less commonly described clinical entity.

Keywords: Group B Streptococcus; Streptococcus agalactiae; Urinary tract infection.
