Proposed virulence-associated genes of Streptococcus suis isolates from the United States serve as predictors of pathogenicity

Abstract Background There is limited information on the distribution of virulence-associated genes (VAGs) in U.S. Streptococcus suis isolates, resulting in little understanding of the pathogenic potential of these isolates. This lack also reduces our understanding of the epidemiology associated with...
