The present invention relates to polynucleotides enabling the rapid, simple and specific detection of Group B Strep-tococcus highly-virulent ST-17 clones. The present invention also relates to the polypeptides encoded by said polynucleotides, as well as to antibodies directed or raised against said polypeptides. The present invention also relates to kits and methods for the spe-cific detection of Group B Streptococcus highly-virulent ST-17 clones, using the polynucleotides, the polypeptides or the antibodies according to the invention. La présente invention concerne des polynucléotides permettant la détection rapide, simple et spécifique de clones ST-17 très virulents de streptocoque de groupe B. La présente invention concerne en outre les polypeptides codés par lesdits polynucléotides, ainsi que des anticorps dirigés ou induits contre lesdits polypeptides. La présente invention concerne en outre des kits et des procédés pour la détection spécifique de clones ST-17 très virulents de streptocoque de groupe B, en utilisant les polynucléotides, les polypeptides ou les anticorps selon l'invention.
