Figure 3. Hypothetical mode of group B Streptococcus (GBS) transmission between bovines and humans.

Figure 3

It is possible that the diversification of GBS occurs independently in both humans and bovines, and only a subset of those strains can cause human and bovine disease. It is also possible that there is occasional transmission of GBS to other animal species (e.g, sheep, goats, etc.), particularly in a farm environment.
