Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic and non-pathogenic isolates of Streptococcus suis type 2 were screened to determine whether differences in superoxide dismutase (SOD) synthesis could explain the observed differences in their pathogenicity and intracellular fate in macrophages. A single band of SOD activity of similar Rf value was visualised in PAGE gels in all isolates and inhibition studies suggested that the cofactor present was...
