Contribution of pilus type 2b to invasive disease caused by a Streptococcus agalactiae ST-17 strain
BACKGROUND: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a major cause of invasive disease especially in neonates. In GBS three structurally distinct pilus polymers have been identified as important virulence factors and promising vaccine candidates. The vast majority of Group B Streptococci belonging to the hype...
