A capsular polysaccharide-expressing live vaccine suppresses streptococcal toxic shock-like syndrome and provides sequence type-independent protection during <i>Streptococcus suis</i> infection
2018-05-31
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus suis ( S. suis ) is an encapsulated zoonotic pathogen, which is responsible for bacterial meningitis and streptococcal toxic shock-like syndrome (STSLS). Despite many attempts to develop an effective vaccine, none is currently available. Here, a capsular polysaccharide (CPS)-expressing attenuated mutant 2015033 was constructed by deleting five virulence-associated factors ( sly , scpA , ssnA , f...
