Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Streptococcus suis (S. suis) is a major zoonotic pathogen that causes severe infections in both pigs and humans. Low-molecular-weight protein tyrosine phosphatases (LMWPTPs) are a conserved family of enzymes involved in capsule synthesis and the pathogenicity of various Gram-positive pathogens, but their functional role in S. suis 2 remains unclear. RESULTS: We constructed a homologous Lmwptp deletion...
