Genomic characterization of group B Streptococcus from Argentina: insights into prophage diversity, virulence factors and antibiotic resistance genes - PubMed
Group B <i>Streptococcus</i> (GBS) is a commensal bacterium that can cause severe infections in infants and adults with comorbidities. Resistance and reduced susceptibility to antibiotics are continually on the rise, and vaccines remain in development. Prophages have been reported to contribute to G …
