Abstract
This study presents new data about the genome features of group в streptococcal strains isolated in different geographic regions. It was demonstrated that the entire genome organization of group в streptococci Is highly conservative. It was found out that both ribotyping and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis taken together provide an additional valuable source of information for epidemiology. The genetic homogeneity of all bac gene-positive strains was revealed.
