Group B streptococcal bacteremia in an adult: a case report from India.

The incidence of group B streptococcal bacteremia in adults has increased in recent years, particularly in patients with severe underlying diseases. However, group B still remains an unusual pathogen in adults in developing countries. We report a case of group B streptococcal bacteremia in a non-pregnant adult, the only case reported in our hospital. The organism was only isolated from the blood and responded to specific therapy.
