Description
Group B strep germs can cause grave illness in newborns and adults, and more of them now resist common drugs. Boyanov and co-authors mapped drug resistance and coat types in samples from Bulgaria, in work from twenty twenty-four. Samples came from hospital and clinic patients across near three years.
All samples still fell to two key drugs, which is good news for care. But most samples resisted one large drug family, and near nine in ten resisted another. Three coat types made up two thirds of the samples. Gene tests found nine genes tied to resistance in the main family. The map helps doctors in the region pick drugs with care and track which coat types a vaccine would need to cover.
