Genetic diversity of Streptococcus suis isolates as determined by comparative genome hybridization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background Streptococcus suis is a zoonotic pathogen that causes infections in young piglets. S. suis is a heterogeneous species. Thirty-three different capsular serotypes have been described, that differ in virulence between as well as within serotypes.

Rapid evolution of virulence and drug resistance in the emerging zoonotic pathogen Streptococcus suis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background: Streptococcus suis is a zoonotic pathogen that infects pigs and can occasionally cause serious infections in humans. S. suis infections occur sporadically in human Europe and North America, but a recent major outbreak has been described in ...

TroA of Streptococcus suis is required for manganese acquisition and full virulence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Streptococcus suis causes infections in pigs and occasionally in humans resulting in 23 manifestations as meningitis, sepsis, arthritis and septic shock. For survival within the 24 host, S. suis requires numerous nutrients including trace metals.

Contribution of fibronectin-binding protein to pathogenesis of Streptococcus suis serotype 2 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
In the present study we investigated the role of the fibronectin (FN)- and fibrinogen (FGN)-binding protein (FBPS) in the pathogenesis of Streptococcus suis serotype 2 in piglets. The complete gene encoding FBPS from S.

Prevalence of coccidia in domestic pigs in China between 1980 and 2019: a systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Swine coccidiosis, a protozoan disease caused by coccidia, can result in diarrhoea and weight loss in piglets and even economic losses in the pig industry.

Bacteria-induced egg hatching differs for Trichuris muris and Trichuris suis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Eggs of the porcine whipworm Trichuris suis are currently explored in human clinical trials as a treatment of immune-mediated diseases. In this context, only the infective, embryonated eggs, constitute the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API).

Role of glucose and CcpA in capsule expression and virulence of Streptococcus suis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Streptococcus suis is one of the most important pathogens in pigs and is also an emerging zoonotic agent. After crossing the epithelial barrier, S. suis causes bacteraemia, resulting in meningitis, endocarditis and bronchopneumonia.
