Molecular Characterization of Streptococcus agalactiae Isolates from Pregnant Women in Kathmandu City.

Conclusion: The isolates were sensitive towards some antibiotics such as linezolid and ceftriaxone 100%, whereas penicillin 50% and vancomycin 75% but were resistant to tetracycline and ertapenem. Serotype III was found to be predominant in the samples collected during the study period. The observed prevalence was significantly associated with the gestational period, whereas no relationship was found for other risk factors. PMID: 32908547 [PubMed]
