A group B streptococcal type VII secreted LXG toxin mediates interbacterial competition and colonization of the female genital tract

2024-06-10

Abstract excerpt

Group B Streptococcus (GBS) asymptomatically colonizes the vagina but can opportunistically ascend to the uterus and be transmitted vertically during pregnancy, resulting in neonatal pneumonia, bacteremia and meningitis. GBS is a leading etiologic agent of neonatal infection and understanding the mechanisms by which GBS persists within the polymicrobial female genital mucosa has potential to mitigate subsequent t...
