Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus suis is an important swine pathogen that may be present in the tonsils of pigs that show no signs of illness. Because adhesion to host cells may be important in the carrier state, this study was undertaken to investigate adhesion to host cells by S. suis mutant strains defective in expression of a 39-kDa protein. Mutant strains of S. suis were generated by transposon Tn916 mutagenesis and were...
