Capsular polysaccharide switching in <i>Streptococcus suis</i> modulates host cell interactions and virulence

2020-10-14

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus suis serotype 2 strains can cause severe infections in both swine and humans. The capsular polysaccharide (CPS) of S. suis defines various serotypes based on its composition and structure. Though serotype switching from serotype 2 has been suggested to occur between S. suis strains, its impact on pathogenicity and virulence remains unknown. Herein, we experimentally generated S. suis serotype-swit...
