The cps Genes of Streptococcus suis Serotypes 1, 2, and 9: Development of Rapid Serotype-Specific PCR Assays
1 Oct 1999
Abstract excerpt
We developed three type-specific PCR assays for the rapid and sensitive detection of Streptococcus suis serotype 1 (plus 14), serotype 2 (plus 1/2), and serotype 9 strains in tonsillar specimens from pigs. The PCR primers were based on the sequences of type-specific capsular genes of S. suis serotype 1, 2, and 9 strains. We recently characterized a major part of the capsular biosynthesis (cps) locus of S. suis...
