Objective. To study the dynamics and molecular mechanisms of resistance of Streptococcus agalactiae strains isolated from pregnant women and newborns in St. Petersburg in 2010–2022.
Materials and Methods. The strains of S. agalactiae (n = 248) were obtained by analyzing the clinical material of pregnant women and newborns who were hospitalized at Research Institute of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductology named after D.O. Ott in 2010–2011 and 2020–2022. Determination of susceptibility to antibacterial drugs was evaluated by disk diffusion method.
