Pan-GWAS of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Streptococcus agalactiae</named-content> Highlights Lineage-Specific Genes Associated with Virulence and Niche Adaptation

ABSTRACT Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococcus; GBS) is a colonizer of the gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts, and an opportunistic pathogen of infants and adults. The worldwide population of GBS is characterized by clonal complexes (CCs) with different invasive potentials. CC17, for e...
