Pan-GWAS of <i>Streptococcus agalactiae</i> highlights lineage-specific genes associated with virulence and niche adaptation

2019-03-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B streptococcus, GBS) is a coloniser of the gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts, and an opportunistic pathogen of infants and adults. The worldwide population of GBS is characterised by Clonal Complexes (CCs) with different invasive potentials. CC17 for example, is a hypervirulent lineage commonly associated with neonatal sepsis and meningitis, while CC1 is les...
