DOI: 10.1016/j.sjbs.2015.10.015
Abstract: Group B streptococcal infection (Streptococcus agalactiae) is one of the leading causes of life-threatening disease in the early neonatal period, resulting in sepsis, pneumonia, and meningitis. During invasive infections, an excessive release of pro-inflammatory cytokine,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jac/dkz465
Abstract: Abstract Objectives Streptococcus agalactiae [group B streptococci (GBS)] have been considered uniformly susceptible to penicillin. However, increasing reports from Asia and North America are documenting penicillin-non-susceptible GBS (PRGBS) with mutations in pbp genes. Here we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/microbiolspec.gpp3-0054-2018
Abstract: Streptococcus pyogenes (i.e., the group A Streptococcus) is a human-restricted and versatile bacterial pathogen that produces an impressive arsenal of both surface-expressed and secreted virulence factors. Although surface-expressed virulence factors are clearly vital for colonization,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0202233
Abstract: The mitis group, a member of the genetically diverse viridans group streptococci, predominately colonizes the human oropharynx. This group has been shown to cause a wide range of infectious complications in humans, including bacteremia in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2021.679792
Abstract: Binding to plasminogen (Plg) enables bacteria to associate with and invade host tissues. The cell wall protein PbsP significantly contributes to the ability of group B streptococci, a frequent cause of invasive infection, to bind… read more here.
