  • Title: Serotype IV Sequence Type 468 Group B Streptococcus Neonatal Invasive Disease, Minnesota, USA.
    Author: Teatero S, Ferrieri P, Fittipaldi N.
    Journal: Emerg Infect Dis; 2016 Nov; 22(11):1937-1940. PubMed ID: 27767922.
    Abstract:
    To further understand the emergence of serotype IV group B Streptococcus (GBS) invasive disease, we used whole-genome sequencing to characterize 3 sequence type 468 strains isolated from neonates in Minnesota, USA. We found that strains of tetracycline-resistant sequence type 468 GBS have acquired virulence genes from a putative clonal complex 17 GBS donor by recombination.
