Lineage and Virulence of Streptococcus suis Serotype 2 Isolates from North America

Lineage and Virulence of Streptococcus suis Serotype 2 Isolates from North America

We performed multilocus sequence typing of 64 North American Streptococcus suis serotype 2 porcine isolates. Strains were sequence type (ST) 28 (51%), ST25 (44%), and ST1 (5%). We identified nonrandom associations between STs and expression of the virulence markers suilysin (SLY), muramidase-relased...
