Serotype Distribution, Virulence, and Antibiotic Resistance Genomic Characterization of Group B Streptococcus - China, 1998-2024.

Introduction: , or group B Streptococcus (GBS), can cause severe infections in humans, yet comprehensive genomic characterization from China remains limited. This study presents an extensive genomic analysis of GBS isolates collected in China from 1998 to 2024.

Methods: GBS genomes were obtained from public databases and through de novo sequencing.
