Abstract
Adult infections with group B .beta.-hemolytic streptococci were infrequently reported in the past. Two patients described 1 with meningitis and the other with suppurative arthritis, emphasize that the organism is a potential pathogen and cause of serious infections in adults. The literature pertinent to these group B streptococcal infections is reviewed.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
