Genomics of Irish swine-derived <i>Streptococcus suis</i> : Population structure, prophages, and anti-viral defence mechanisms
2025-08-29
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus suis is a major pig pathogen with zoonotic potential, posing an occupational risk to farmers and meat handlers. We characterised 110 S. suis strains from diseased pigs in Ireland (2005–2022) using whole-genome sequencing to investigate population structure and phage-host dynamics. We identified fifteen distinct serotypes, with serotypes 9 and 2 being the most dominant. In silico multi-locus sequenc...
