Abstract

Source: Patras, K. A., Doran, K. S. A Murine Model of Group B Streptococcus Vaginal Colonization. J. Vis. Exp. (2016)This video demonstrates the preparation and vaginal inoculation of a hormone-treated female mouse with Group B Streptococcus to model infection. It explains how to culture and prepare the bacteria, administer the inoculum into the vaginal lumen, and ensure successful infection.
