摘要：

Streptococcus algalactiae is an important human pathogen causing severe neonatal infections. During the course of infection, S. algalactiae colonizes and invades a number of different host compartments. Bacterial molecules including the polysaccharide capsule, the hemolysin, the C5a peptidase, the C-proteins, the hyaluronate lyase and a number of unknown bacterial components determine the interaction with host tissues. This review summarizes our current knowledge about these interactions. (C) 2000 Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS.
