Molecular characterization, antimicrobial resistance and invasion of epithelial cells by <i>Streptococcus agalactiae</i> strains isolated from colonized pregnant women and newborns in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The study showed a high prevalence of virulence and antimicrobial genes in S. agalactiae strains isolated from pregnant women and newborns, supporting the idea that continued surveillance is necessary to identify risk factors and perform long-term follow-up in pregnant women and neonates in Rio de Janeiro.
