Currently available data suggest that group B Streptococcus (GBS) jumped from animals to humans in a certain moment of the evolution, becoming fixed and specialized to the new host, it is still debatable if this zoonotic potential remains nowadays (Oliveira et al, 2006; Sørensen et al, 2010; da Cunha et al, 2015)
Bovine mastitis caused by GBS represents a huge economic problem for the dairy industry, especially because this microorganism is highly contagious within a farm and rapidly reduces milk productivity
