First Report of <i>Streptococcus agalactiae</i> Meningitis in a Non-Pregnant Adult in Italy

2025-03-04

Abstract excerpt

This study, for the first time in Italy, analyses by WGS a Streptococcus agalactiae strain isolated from a non-pregnant adult affected by meningitis and without common risk factors. The S. agalactiae strain was classified as a serotype II (SS2), sequence type ST569. Molecular characterization evidenced the presence of resistance genes to tetracycline and macrolide (tet(M) and mre(A)) and several virulence genes co...
