A single amino acid polymorphism in the glycosyltransferase CpsK defines four Streptococcus suis serotypes
Abstract The capsular polysaccharide (CPS) is the major virulence factor of the emerging zoonotic pathogen Streptococcus suis. CPS differences are also the basis for serological differentiation of the species into 29 serotypes. Serotypes 2 and 1/2, which possess identical gene content in their cps l...
