SssP1, a Streptococcus suis Fimbria-Like Protein Transported by the SecY2/A2 System, Contributes to Bacterial Virulence

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus suis is an important zoonotic pathogen. Here, we managed to identify key factors to clarify the virulence of S. suis strain CZ130302 from a novel serotype, Chz. Notably, it was shown that a fimbria-like structure was significantly connected to the pathogenicity of the CZ130302 strain by comparative genomics analysis and animal infection assays. The mechanisms of how the CZ130302 strain constructs...
