(Group ) strain COH1 is a representative strain of serotype III, multi-locus sequence type 17, which is disproportionately associated with neonatal meningitis. Here we report the transcriptome of COH1 when interacting with human brain endothelial cells compared with COH1 alone.

Unlabelled: Group B Streptococcus (GBS), a common colonizer of the human genital and gastrointestinal tracts, is a leading cause of neonatal bacterial meningitis, which can lead to severe neurological complications. The hypervirulent serotype III, sequence type 17 (ST-17) strain COH1 is strongly associated with late-onset disease due to its unique set of virulence factors. However, genetic manipulation of ST-17 strains is notoriously challenging, limiting the ability to study key pathogenic genes.

Introduction: The hypervirulent ST-17 clone of Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of neonatal invasive meningitis. The link between GBS biofilm formation and the ST-17 lineage is established, and the inhibition of GBS biofilm formation by CsrR involves the regulation of adhesins. However, the specific adhesins involved in biofilm formation in ST-17 GBS strains are unknown.

The vaginal microbiota plays a pivotal role in reproductive, sexual, and perinatal health and disease. Unlike the well-established connections between diet, metabolism, and the intestinal microbiota, parallel mechanisms influencing the vaginal microbiota and pathogen colonization remain overlooked. In this study, we combine a mouse model of strain COH1 [group B (GBS)] vaginal colonization with a mouse model of pubertal-onset obesity to assess diet as a determinant of vaginal microbiota composition and its role in colonization resistance.

Introduction: (Group B , GBS) is a leading pathogen of neonatal sepsis. The host-pathogen interactions underlying the progression to life-threatening infection in newborns are incompletely understood. Macrophages are first line in host defenses against GBS, contributing to the initiation, amplification, and termination of immune responses.
