Abstract excerpt

Since Group B Streptococcus (GBS, Streptococcus agalactiae) clinical isolates are believed to be uniformly susceptible to β-lactams, penicillin G has been used as the first-line agent for the prevention and treatment of GBS infections. However, the existence and characteristics of GBS isolates with reduced penicillin susceptibility (PRGBS) have recently been reported in Japan. Moreover, the sequence type (ST) 458...
