Identification of Streptococcus suis isolated from swine: proposal for biochemical parameters.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A study was made of the biochemical profiles of 59 strains serotyped as Streptococcus suis, isolated from diseased and clinically healthy pigs. The following parameters are proposed for the identification of the species: Voges-Proskauer negativity, hydrolysis of esculin positivity, trehalose positivity, negativity for growth in 6.5% NaCl, and absence of beta-hemolysis on sheep blood agar. S. suis serotype 2 is negative for hippurate, pyrrolidonylarylamidase, and mannose.

Identification of epidemic strains of Streptococcus suis by genomic fingerprinting.
A natural outbreak of Streptococcus suis meningitis in two closed swine herds was studied. DNA fingerprinting, serotyping, and biochemical profiles were assessed. Multiple serotypes were recovered from these herds. In farm A, 50 S. suis strains were isolated from 330 swabs collected. Eighteen strains belonged to serotype 2, and 32 strains belonged to serotypes 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 11. In farm B, ...
متن کاملComplete genome sequence of Streptococcus suis serotype 14 strain JS14.
Streptococcus suis is an important zoonotic agent leading to a variety of diseases in swine and can be transmitted to human beings upon close contact. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of S. suis serotype 14 strain JS14 which was isolated from a diseased pig in Jiangsu Province, China.
متن کاملIdentification of an inducible bacteriophage in a virulent strain of Streptococcus suis serotype 2.
Streptococcus suis infection is considered to be a major problem in the swine industry worldwide. Most virulent Canadian isolates of S. suis serotype 2 do not produce the known virulence markers for this pathogen. PCR-based subtraction hybridization was adapted to isolate unique DNA sequences which were specific to virulent strains of S. suis isolated in Canada. Analysis of some subtracted DNA ...

Streptococcus suis is an important swine pathogen that can also cause severe diseases in humans. Herein, we describe the genome sequence of Streptococcus suis serotype 2 virulent strain SS2-1, which was isolated from a diseased dead pig amid the 1998 Streptococcus suis outbreak in Jiangsu Province in China.
متن کاملStreptococcus plurextorum sp. nov., isolated from pigs.
Biochemical and molecular genetic studies were performed on an unknown Gram-positive, catalase-negative, coccus-shaped organism isolated from clinical samples from pigs. On the basis of the results of cellular morphological and biochemical tests, the organism was identified as a streptococcal species. 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons confirmed its identification as a member of the genus Strep...
