    Summary

    Group B Streptococcus sequence type 103, primarily a cattle pathogen, has circulated in Brazil since the 1990s. Its presence in human carriage isolates suggests bovine-human transmission may drive its evolution.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Group B Streptococcus (GBS) sequence type 103 (ST103) is recognized as a significant pathogen in bovine mastitis.
    • This specific GBS strain has been identified in both cattle and human populations in Brazil since the 1990s.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the epidemiology and potential transmission routes of GBS ST103 between cattle and humans in Brazil.
    • To characterize the genetic features of GBS ST103 isolates from different hosts.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of GBS ST103 isolates from bovine and human sources in Brazil.
    • Genomic characterization, including the absence of the scpB gene, was performed.

    Main Results:

    • GBS ST103 was found in human carriage isolates, indicating adaptation beyond its primary bovine host.
    • The absence of the scpB gene was noted in these isolates.

    Conclusions:

    • The circulation of GBS ST103 in both cattle and humans suggests interspecies transmission.
    • Bovine-to-human transmission may play a role in the evolution and dissemination of this GBS strain.
