Production and Composition of Group B Streptococcal Membrane Vesicles Vary Across Diverse Lineages

Production and Composition of Group B Streptococcal Membrane Vesicles Vary Across Diverse Lineages

Although the neonatal and fetal pathogen Group B Streptococcus (GBS) asymptomatically colonizes the vaginal tract of ∼30% of pregnant women, only a fraction of their offspring develops invasive disease. We and others have postulated that these dimorphic clinical phenotypes are driven by strain varia...
