Association between maternal Group B Streptococcus surface-protein antibody concentrations and invasive disease in their infants
12 Sept 2015
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) surface-proteins have been shown to be immunogenic and potential vaccine candidates. We aim to determine the association between maternal IgG antibodies to select GBS surface-proteins and invasive GBS disease in their infants. METHODS: Using a matched case-control study, maternal antibody levels for GBS-immunogenic bacterial adhesin, fibrinogen-binding protein A and...
