Group B streptococcus (GBS) or Streptococcus agalactiae is an opportunistic pathogen that causes serious illness in newborns, pregnant women, and adults. However, insufficient detection methods disease prevention programs have contributed to increase the incidence fatality rates associated with this non-neonatal patients. This study aimed investigate factors of observed increased by investigation serotype distribution, virulence factors, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns from invasive...
