Clinically relevant genomic and phenotypic differences in virulence, antimicrobial resistance, and biofilm-associated tolerance between Streptococcus suis lineages ST1 and ST123.

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus suis is a Gram-positive bacterium and an important pathogen in pigs and humans. It can be classified into more than 3000 sequence types (STs), among which the ST1 and ST123 lineages are highly prevalent in Spain. ST1 is a globally distributed lineage, while ST123 has emerged within the last decade only in Spain. In this study, we compared the genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of...
