“…The majority of LLOS GBS sepsis occurs in preterm infants at an age when the immune system is more mature; thus, mortality due to LLOS GBS sepsis is much lower than that presenting at earlier ages (220,509). Infants may have persistent colonization from birth or may acquire the organism through nosocomial routes.…”

“…Other beta-hemolytic streptococci, including group B, C, and G strains, also have the ability to cause serious human illnesses, including streptococcal TSS with or without necrotizing fasciitis and myositis (25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37). Additionally, group B streptococci are well known to cause neonatal sepsis and meningitis, and group C and G strains cause pharyngitis.…”

“…Over the last decade, the burden of invasive GBS disease in immunocompromised children and adults has also been increasing (24). In adults, common predisposing conditions for severe GBS infection and sepsis include malignant neoplasms, diabetes mellitus, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection, trauma, and older age (6,8,18). The mortality of invasive GBS disease in both newborns and adults remains high despite advances in intensive care and the susceptibility of the pathogen to penicillin (4,18,20).…”
