Synergistic findings from microbiological and evolutional analyses of virulence factors among pathogenic streptococcal species

Conclusion Bacterial pathogens rapidly adapt to clinical intervention, such as antimicrobial agents and vaccination, via horizontal gene transfer, recombination, and/or natural point mutation. It is vital to continue development of innovative analysis methods to counter the mounting threats from evolving bacteria.
