Enhanced Expression of lmb Gene Encoding Laminin-Binding Protein in Streptococcus agalactiae Strains Harboring IS1548 in scpB-lmb Intergenic Region

Group B streptococcus (GBS) is the main cause of neonatal sepsis and meningitis. Bacterial surface proteins play a major role in GBS binding to and invasion of different host surfaces. The scpB and lmb genes, coding for fibronectin-binding and laminin-binding surface proteins, are present in almost...
