Penicillin‐binding proteins in Streptococcus agalactiae: a novel mechanism for evasion of immune clearance

Summary Group B streptococci (GBS) remain the most significant bacterial pathogen causing neonatal sepsis, pneumonia and meningitis in the USA despite CDC‐recommended chemoprophylaxis strategies for preventing infection. To cause infection pathogens such as GBS must evade recognition and clearance b...
