Comparison of lateral tail vein and retro-orbital venous sinus as routes of inoculation to study Group B streptococcal systemic infection by Jéssica da Conceição Mendonça, Stephen Lumsdaine, Lindsey R. Burcham

“…In summary, these findings suggest that both tail vein injection and retro-orbital venous sinus injection are viable models to study Group B streptococcal systemic infection and result in largely similar disease outcomes within our tested parameters.IMPORTANCEStreptococcus agalactiae or Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is the leading cause of invasive disease in neonates and immunocompromised adults and is implicated in severe cases of sepsis, pneumonia, and meningitis. Established murine models of hematogenous systemic infection allow for better understanding and investigation of bacterial dispersion, pathogenesis, meningeal inflammation, and interaction with the host. …”
