Abstract

ABSTRACT Two temporally and geographically clustered cases of meningitis caused by Streptococcus agalactiae expressing the infrequent Ib serotype are reported. Characterization by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and multilocus sequence typing revealed that the isolates were identical and represented the widely distributed ST10/ST8 lineage associated with serotype Ib.
