Genomic adaptation in group B <i>Streptococcus</i> following intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis and childbirth
2024-04-02
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Through vaginal colonization, GBS causes severe outcomes including neonatal sepsis and meningitis. Although intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP) has reduced neonatal disease rates, persistent GBS colonization has been observed in patients following prophylaxis. To determine whether IAP selects for genomic signatures that enhance GBS survival and persistence, a pangenome analysis was performed...
