We used a multiplex PCR-based reverse line blot (mPCR/RLB) hybridization assay and sequencing of a variable region of the cps cluster to identify serotypes of 140 Streptococcus agalactiae (group B Streptococcus; GBS) isolates from cattle. Only 71 (51%) isolates were typeable using antisera, but molecular serotypes (MS) were assigned to 133 (95%) and 139 (99%) isolates by partial cpsE-cpsF-cpsG sequencing and mPCR/RLB, respectively. Ninety-four isolates (67%) belonged to MS III and most belonged to a molecular serosubtype (msst) III-3, which is uncommon among GBS isolates from humans. Our results demonstrate that cps clusters of bovine GBS differ significantly from those of GBS isolates from humans.
