Comparison of the Susceptibilities of C57BL/6 and A/J Mouse Strains toStreptococcus suisSerotype 2 Infection

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus suis is an important swine and human pathogen. Assessment of susceptibility to S. suis using animal models has been limited to monitoring mortality rates. We recently developed a hematogenous model of S. suis infection in adult CD1 outbred mice to study the in vivo development of an early septic shock-like syndrome that leads to death and a late phase that clearly induces central nervous system...
