The <i>Streptococcus suis</i> transcriptional landscape reveals adaptation mechanisms in pig blood and cerebrospinal fluid
23 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus suis (SS) is an important pathogen of pigs, and it is also recognized as a zoonotic agent for humans. SS infection may result in septicemia or meningitis in the host. However, little is known about genes that contribute to the virulence process and survival within host blood or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Small RNAs (sRNA) have emerged as key regulators of virulence in several bacteria, but they have...
