A Novel Real-Time PCR Assay for the Rapid Detection of Virulent Streptococcus equi Subspecies zooepidemicus—An Emerging Pathogen of Swine

Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus, a zoonotic bacterial pathogen caused a series of outbreaks with high mortality affecting swine herds in multiple locations of the USA and Canada in 2019. Further genetic analysis revealed that this agent clustered with ATCC 35246, a S. zooepidemicus strai...
