Özet

Objective: Group B streptococci (GBS) are the major cause of pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis in neonates and adults. Epithelial invasion and early cytokine response of female genital tract considered to be important in the pathogenesis of GBS infection. In this study, we studied the IL-8 induction in cervical epithelial cells in response to stimulus with encapsulated (COH1) and unencapsulated (COH1-13) strains of group B streptococci.
