Group B Streptococcal β-Hemolysin/Cytolysin Directly Impairs Cardiomyocyte Viability and Function

BACKGROUND: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of neonatal sepsis where myocardial dysfunction is an important contributor to poor outcome. Here we study the effects of the GBS pore-forming β-hemolysin/cytolysin (Bh/c) exotoxin on cardiomyocyte viability, contractility, and calcium trans...
