Abstract excerpt
This study was aimed to examine the genetic characteristics of 44 Streptococcus suis type 2 (SS2) isolates and the virulence attributes of 23 representative isolates. Multilocus sequence typing revealed five sequence types (ST1, ST7, ST28, ST86, and ST162) with 19 isolates assigned to ST7 (43.2%), 14 to ST1 (31.8%), and 9 to ST28 (20.5%). PCR typing of the pilus gene clusters classified the isolates into three...
