Evaluation of Galleria mellonella larvae for studying the virulence of Streptococcus suis.

BMC microbiology - 15 Dec 2016

Velikova Nadya, Kavanagh Kevin, Wells Jerry M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Streptococcus suis is an encapsulated Gram-positive bacterium and the leading cause of sepsis and meningitis in young pigs, resulting in considerable economic losses in the porcine industry. S. suis is considered an emerging zoonotic agent with increasing numbers of human cases over the last years. In the environment, both avirulent and virulent strains occur in pigs, with no evidence for consistent...
