Group B <i>Streptococcus</i> Serotype III Sequence Type 283 Bacteremia Associated with Consumption of Raw Fish, Singapore

Abstract

We conducted a retrospective study of 40 case-patients and 58 controls as part of a nationwide investigation of a group B Streptococcus outbreak in Singapore in 2015. Eating a Chinese-style raw fish dish (yusheng) was a major risk factor for bacteremia, particularly caused by serotype III sequence type 283.
