Streptococcus agalactiae Serotype Distribution and Antimicrobial
                Susceptibility in Pregnant Women in Gabon, Central Africa

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Neonatal invasive disease due to Streptococcus agalactiae is
                life threatening and preventive strategies suitable for resource
                limited settings are urgently needed. Protective coverage of
                vaccine candidates based on capsular epitopes will relate to
                local epidemiology of S. agalactiae serotypes and successful
                management of critical infections depends on timely therapy with
                effective antibiotics. This is the first report on serotype
                distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility of S. agalactiae
                in pregnant women from a Central African region. Serotypes V,
                III, and Ib accounted for 88/109 (81%) serotypes and all
                isolates were susceptible to penicillin and clindamycin while
                13% showed intermediate susceptibility to erythromycin.
