Phenotypic and genotypic features of 83 commensal Streptococcus agalactiae isolated from patients seen at University Hospital of Londrina: distribution of capsular types, pili island, hemolysis pattern and MLVA types. Cluster analysis was performed using UPGMA algorithm of the Bionumerics v. 4.6 software, with a cutoff value set at 85%. Numbers of repeats are showed in each MLVA marker. The number -2.0 was assigned if no PCR product could be amplified. Hemolysis in agar plate containing 5% sheep blood.
