Beta-hemolytic, multi-lancefield antigen-agglutinating Enterococcus durans from a pregnant woman, mimicking Streptococcus agalactiae.


ABSTRACT: A beta-hemolytic Lancefield antigen A-, B-, C-, D-, F-, and G-positive Enterococcus durans strain was cultivated from the rectovaginal swab of a pregnant woman who underwent antenatal screening for Streptococcus agalactiae. The isolate raised concern as to what extent similar strains are misrecognized and lead to false diagnosis of group B streptococci.
