Streptococcus suis serotype 9 in Italy: genomic insights into high-risk clones with emerging resistance to penicillin
11 Dec 2023
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Streptococcus suis is an important pig pathogen and an emerging zoonotic agent. In a previous study, we described a high proportion of penicillin-resistant serotype 9 S. suis (SS9) isolates on pig farms in Italy. OBJECTIVES: We hypothesized that resistance to penicillin emerged in some SS9 lineages characterized by substitutions at the PBPs, contributing to the successful spread of these lineages in...
