Gene Factors and Serotypes Related to Polysaccharide and Protein-Based Candidate Vaccines Among Streptococcus agalactiae Isolates
) vaccines were 54.3% and 40.8%. We noted a significant prevalence in the distribution of serotypes II, III, and non-typeable in GBS-NN, whereas serotypes Ia and IV were predominant in GBS-NN2. The serotype prevalence identified in our research was consistent with the data from our region and confirmed the predominance of the six main serotypes included in the hexavalent conjugated vaccine. We highlighted the importance of the combined administration of both protein vaccines, ensuring optimal vaccine coverage.
