Genomic Characterisation of Group B <i>Streptococcus</i> from Argentina: Insights into Prophage Diversity, Virulence Factors and Antibiotic Resistance Genes
2024-12-23
Abstract excerpt
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a commensal bacterium that can cause severe infections in infants and adults with comorbidities. Resistance and reduced susceptibility to antibiotics is continually on the rise, and vaccines remain in-development. Prophages have been reported to contribute to GBS evolution and pathogenicity. However, no studies are available to date on prophage contribution to the epidemiology of GB...
