“…Representation of the eight genomic islands predicted using the same software by comparing the S. agalactiae GBS85147 strain against the 16 complete genomes of the S. agalactiae species obtained from the NCBI database. From the inner to outer ring (black) we used the genome of S. agalactiae GBS85147 strain as a reference, followed by GC - (purple) and GC + (green) content, the strains of S. agalactiae 09mas018883 [ 35 ], 138P [ 56 ], 138spar [ 57 ], 2603 V/R [ 58 ], A909 [ 59 ], CNCTC10/84 [ 60 ], COH1 [ 61 ], GBS1-NY [ 62 ], GBS2-NM [ 62 ], GBS6 [ 62 ], GD201008-001 [ 32 ], ILRI005 [ 63 ], ILRI112 [ 63 ], NGBS061 [ 64 ], NGBS572 [ 64 ] and SA20-06 [ 65 ] respectively. The last external ring in 4A display the pathogenic islands while the last external ring in 4B display the genomic islands, respectively …”

Streptococcus agalactiae, also referred to as Group B Streptococcus, is a frequent resident of the rectovaginal tract in humans, and a major cause of neonatal infection. The pathogen can also infect adults with underlying disease, particularly the elderly and immunocompromised ones. In addition, S. agalactiae is a known fish pathogen, which compromises food safety and represents a zoonotic hazard. This study provides valuable structural, functional and evolutionary genomic information of a human S. agalactiae serotype Ia (ST-103) GBS85147 strain isolated from the oropharynx of an adult patient from Rio de Janeiro, thereby representing the first human isolate in Brazil. We used the Ion Torrent PGM platform with the 200 bp fragment library sequencing kit. The sequencing generated 578,082,183 bp, distributed among 2,973,022 reads, resulting in an approximately 246-fold mean coverage depth and was assembled using the Mira Assembler v3.9.18. The S. agalactiae strain GBS85147 comprises of a circular chromosome with a final genome length of 1,996,151 bp containing 1,915 protein-coding genes, 18 rRNA, 63 tRNA, 2 pseudogenes and a G + C content of 35.48 %.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s40793-016-0158-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…GBS have also been found in many other animals, such as camels, dogs, cats, crocodiles, seals, fish and dolphins [ 3 – 5 ]. More in detail, S. agalactiae has been frequently observed in camels ( Camelus dromedarius ) , as a causative agent of mastitis, caseous lymphadenitis, contagious skin necrosis and purulent infections [ 6 – 8 ]. Moreover, authors described that the camel strains are different from the bovine strains, and that they resemble much more the human strains [ 3 ].…”

BackgroundStreptococcus agalactiae is pathogenic for both animals and humans. In dairy cattle it commonly causes mastitis, with great economic losses, and there is scientific evidence of mastitis, caseous lymphadenitis, contagious skin necrosis and purulent infections associated with S. agalactiae in camels (Camelus dromedarius) as well. In humans, it is a common component of the respiratory and gastrointestinal microflora, but it can also act as a pathogen, especially in elderly people and immunocompromised patients, as well as in pregrant women and newborns.Case presentationA 10-year old non-pregnant female llama (Lama glama) was conferred to the Institute for Animal Health Control, in Bolzano for necropsy after sudden death. The animal had not shown unusual behaviour and had a low to normal nutritional condition (body condition score 2/5). The breeder had reported a chronic suppurative subcutaneous infection in the intermandibular area, resistant to therapy (therapy unknown). After necropsy, several samples were processed for histological, bacteriological and parasitological examinations.ConclusionsThis report describes, to the best of our knowledge, the first isolation of S. agalactiae in llamas (Lama glama). The animal came from a herd that counts approximately 200 South American camelids (llamas, alpacas) along with several horses, chicken, rabbits, cats and dogs; this farm offers services, such as trekking and pet therapy activities.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12917-018-1676-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
