A Novel Conserved Protein in Streptococcus agalactiae, BvaP, Is Important for Vaginal Colonization and Biofilm Formation
ABSTRACT Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococcus [GBS]) infections in neonates are often fatal and strongly associated with maternal GBS vaginal colonization. Here, we investigated the role of an uncharacterized protein, BvaP, in GBS vaginal colonization. bvaP was previously identified as th...
