Accelerated loop-mediated isothermal amplification method for the rapid detection of Streptococcus suis serotypes 2 and 14 based on single nucleotide polymorphisms

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Streptococcus suis serotypes 2 and 14 are the most prevalent zoonotic strains. The establishment of a sensitive and extremely accurate method for point-of-care testing for Streptococcus suis serotype 2 and 14 strains is highly desirable. In this study, a

A rapid colloidal gold immunochromatographic assay based on polyclonal antibodies against HtpsC protein for the detection of Streptococcus suis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
An efficient and rapid immunochromatographic assay (ICA) has been engineered for the detection of Streptococcus suis (S. suis). The underpinning principle of this ICA test lies in the use of polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) decorated with colloidal gold ...

Suicin 3908, a new lantibiotic produced by a strain of Streptococcus suis serotype 2 isolated from a healthy carrier pig. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
While Streptococcus suis serotype 2 is known to cause severe infections in pigs, it can also be isolated from the tonsils of healthy animals that do not develop infections. We hypothesized that S. suis strains in healthy carrier pigs may have the ability

Streptococcus oriscaviae sp. nov. Infection Associated with Guinea Pigs

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Pet bite-related infections are commonly caused by the pet’s oral flora transmitted to the animal handlers through the bite wounds. In this study, we isolated a streptococcus, HKU75T, in pure culture from the purulent discharge collected from a guinea ...

Streptococcus suis Serotype 2 Infection Impairs Interleukin-12 Production and the MHC-II-Restricted Antigen Presentation Capacity of Dendritic Cells

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Streptococcus suis is an important swine pathogen and emerging zoonotic agent. Encapsulated strains of S. suis modulate dendritic cell (DC) functions, leading to poorly activated CD4+ T cells. However, the antigen presentation ability of S.
