Hyaluronan lyase is secreted by most strains of the human pathogen, group B streptococcus. Site-directed mutagenesis of the enzyme identified three amino acid residues important for enzyme activity, H479, Y488, and R542. These three residues are in close proximity in the putative active site of a ho

Recombinant pectate lyase from Aspergillus niger was overexpressed in Aspergillus nidulans. The two recombinant proteins produced differed in molecular mass by 1200 Da, which suggested that the larger molecular weight protein was glycosylated. The deduced amino acid sequence was searched for potenti
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the compliance rate with a maternal riskfactor-based guideline for the prevention of neonatal group B streptococcal (GBS) sepsis. Methods: In August 1994, a risk-factor-based guideline for selective intrapartum prophylaxis against neonatal GBS w
