Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Although group B Streptococcus (GBS; i.e. Streptococcus agalactiae) has been considered to be uniformly susceptible to β-lactams, GBS isolates with reduced penicillin susceptibility (PRGBS) have been reported from Japan and North America. In this study, PRGBS from Japan were characterized by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and the results compared with data on PRGBS reported from the USA. METHODS:...
