An emerging zoonotic clone in the Netherlands provides clues to virulence and zoonotic potential of Streptococcus suis
6 Jul 2016
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus suis is a zoonotic swine pathogen and a major public health concern in Asia, where it emerged as an important cause of bacterial meningitis in adults. While associated with food-borne transmission in Asia, zoonotic S. suis infections are mainly occupational hazards elsewhere. To identify genomic differences that can explain zoonotic potential, we compared whole genomes of 98 S. suis isolates from...
