Basis of the persistence of capsule-negative Streptococcus suis in porcine endocarditis inferred from comparative genomics
1 Jun 2021
Abstract excerpt
The capsule (cap) of Streptococcus suis is an anti-phagocytic element and is one of the major virulence factors. However, we have found cap-positive and cap-negative isolates in porcine endocarditis. Here, we compared genome sequences of multiple cap-negative isolates with those of a cap-positive isolate from a single endocarditis. Cap-positive and cap-negative isolates from the same pig were phylogenetically...
