Virulent strains of Streptococcus suis serotype 2 and highly virulent strains of Streptococcus suis serotype 1 can be recognized by a unique ribotype profile
1 May 1997
Abstract excerpt
The ribotype profiles of 42 different Streptococcus suis strains were studied. These strains belonged to five serotypes and differed in their virulence for pigs as well as in the expression of the muramidase-released protein and the extracellular protein factor. For the ribotyping, chromosomal DNAs were digested with EcoRI and were hybridized with a 1,066-bp ribosomal DNA probe. The hybridization patterns showed...
