Proposed virulence-associated genes of Streptococcus suis isolates from the United States serve as predictors of pathogenicity

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: There is limited information on the distribution of virulence-associated genes (VAGs) in U.S. Streptococcus suis isolates, resulting in little understanding of the pathogenic potential of these isolates. This lack also reduces our understanding of the epidemiology associated with S. suis in the United States and thus affects the efficiency of control and prevention strategies. In this study we applied...
