The surface of the Gram-positive opportunistic pathogen Streptococcus agalactiae, or group B Streptococcus (GBS), harbors several carbohydrate and protein antigens with the potential to be effective vaccines. Capsular polysaccharides of all clinically-relevant GBS serotypes coupled to immunogenic proteins of both GBS and non-GBS origin have undergone extensive testing in animals that led to advanced clinical trials in healthy adult women. In addition, GBS proteins either alone or in combination have been tested in animals; a fusion protein construct has recently advanced to human clinical studies. Given our current understanding of the antigenicity and immunogenicity of the wide array of GBS surface antigens, formulations now exist for the generation of viable vaccines against diseases caused by GBS.
