Abstract excerpt
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a gram-positive pathogen mainly affecting humans, cattle and fish. Mobile genetic elements play an important role in the evolution of GBS, its adaptation to host species and niches, and its pathogenicity. In particular, lysogenic prophages have been associated with a high virulence of certain strains and with their ability to cause invasive infections in humans. It is therefore...
