Streptococcus equi Subspecies zooepidemicus and Sudden Deaths in Swine, Canada

Abstract excerpt

Historically described as a commensal of the swine upper respiratory tract, Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus was previously reported as an important swine pathogen only in Asia. Here we report the isolation and whole genome characterization of S. equi subsp. zooepidemicus associated with a sudden death outbreak in pigs in Canada.
