Abstract: Background: Antibiotic-resistant type III/ST-17 Streptococcus agalactiae (group B Streptococcus, GBS) strain is predominant in neonatal invasive GBS diseases. We aimed to investigate the antibiotic resistance profiles and genetic characteristics of type III/ST-17 GBS strains. Methods:… read more here.

DOI: 10.7883/yoken.jjid.2020.371
Abstract: We previously reported the emergence and high prevalence of group B streptococci (GBS) with reduced penicillin susceptibility (PRGBS) clinical isolates in Japan. PRGBS tend to be non-susceptible to macrolides and fluoroquinolones. In our previous study,… read more here.
