Abstract excerpt
Bone and joint infections (BJI) represent the second cause of invasive Group B Streptococcus (GBS) infections. Biofilm formation plays a major role in BJI. This study's aim was to analyze the genetic features and biofilm production of GBS strains. In six French laboratories, 77 GBS strains isolated from BJI and 57 strains from vaginal human colonization (Hcol) were characterized and compared by Multi-Locus...
