Description
Summary:•Largest GBS genome sequence sample of Chinese infants.•Baseline data for GBS surveillance and vaccine impact evaluation. Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in young infants worldwide. This study aimed to investigate candidate GBS vaccine targets, virulence factors, and antimicrobial resistance determinants. We used whole-genome sequencing to characterize invasive GBS isolates from infants
