Genomic Traits Associated with Virulence and Antimicrobial Resistance of Invasive Group B Streptococcus Isolates with Reduced Penicillin Susceptibility from Elderly Adults

Genomic Traits Associated with Virulence and Antimicrobial Resistance of Invasive Group B Streptococcus Isolates with Reduced Penicillin Susceptibility from Elderly Adults

ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate genomic traits underlying the antimicrobial resistance and virulence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) group B streptococci with reduced penicillin susceptibility (PRGBS) recovered from elderly patients with bloodstream infections, which remain poorly characterize...
