    Abstract Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a Gram-positive bacterium that colonizes the lower gastrointestinal tract, and in females, the urogenital tract, in up to 30% of healthy adults. However, GBS is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in newborns due to ascending infection of the womb or by neonatal acquisition during vaginal passage. GBS neonatal disease manifests as pneumonia, sepsis, or meningitis, and an estimated 4 million newborns die each year globally. This commentary reflects on recent work by Mejia and colleagues (M. E. Mejia, S. Ottinger, A. Vrbanac, P. Babu, et al., mSphere 6:e00885-21, 2022, https://doi.org/10.1128/msphere.00885-21) that has examined human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) as a natural product with anti-GBS activity. They show that HMOs reduce GBS vaginal colonization without impacting the normal vaginal microbiota. This study advances the possibility of using novel therapeutics to limit GBS maternal colonization and subsequent neonatal disease.

    Abstract Bacterial infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and the rise of antibiotic resistance necessitates development of alternative treatments. Pathogen adhesins that bind to host cells initiate disease pathogenesis and represent potential therapeutic targets. We have shown previously that the BspC adhesin in Group B Streptococcus (GBS), the leading cause of bacterial neonatal meningitis, interacts with host vimentin to promote attachment to brain endothelium and disease development. Here we determined that the BspC variable (V-) domain contains the vimentin binding site and promotes GBS adherence to brain endothelium. Site directed mutagenesis identified a binding pocket necessary for GBS host cell interaction and development of meningitis. Using a virtual structure-based drug screen we identified compounds that targeted the V-domain binding pocket, which blocked GBS adherence and entry into the brain in vivo. These data indicate the utility of targeting the pathogen-host interface to develop anti-virulence therapeutics.

    Abstract Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an opportunistic pathogen and frequent colonizer of human skin and mucosal membranes, including the vagina, with vaginal colonization reaching nearly 25% in some pregnant populations. MRSA vaginal colonization can lead to aerobic vaginitis (AV), and during pregnancy, bacterial ascension into the upper reproductive tract can lead to adverse birth outcomes. USA300, the most prominent MRSA lineage to colonize pregnant individuals, is a robust biofilm former and causative agent of invasive infections; however, little is known about how it colonizes and ascends in the female reproductive tract (FRT). Our previous studies showed that a MRSA mutant of seven fibrinogen-binding adhesins was deficient in FRT epithelial attachment and colonization. Using both monolayer and multilayer air-liquid interface cell culture models, we determine that one class of these adhesins, the fibronectin binding proteins (FnBPA and FnBPB), are critical for association with human vaginal epithelial cells (hVECs) and hVEC invasion through interactions with α
