Highlights from the article: Group B streptococcus (GBS), also known as Streptococcus agalactiae (S. agalactiae), is a bacterium surrounded by a polysaccharide capsule. Because IAP has no effect in preventing either GBS-LOD in infants or GBS infections in adults, GBS vaccination would be a good way to control not only GBS-EOD and GBS-LOD in infants but also infections in adults at risk. Despite the promising results from clinical trials, the phenomenon of serotype switching and replacement has been noted worldwide.[7] Ongoing surveillance to monitor GBS serotype distribution will be necessary to guide the development and use of GBS conjugate vaccines. |
