Association between genotypic diversity and biofilm production in group B Streptococcus

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

These data suggest that biofilm production is a lineage-specific trait in GBS and may promote colonization of strains representing lineages other than STs 17 and 19. The findings herein also demonstrate that biofilms must be considered in the treatment of pregnant women, particularly for women with heavy GBS colonization.
