Streptococcus suis meningitis in the Netherlands

Journal of Infection, 2008
We present four patients with Streptococcus suis meningitis identified during a 3.5-year prospective surveillance study in the Netherlands. All cases were associated with exposure to pigs. Patients presented with classic symptoms and signs of bacterial meningitis. Outcome was characterized by severe hearing loss.

Streptococcus suis in Hong Kong

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2007
Streptococcus suis was isolated from 6.1% of raw pork meat from 3 of the 6 wet markets in 6 districts in Hong Kong. S. suis was particularly isolated in sites from the tongue, tonsil, bone, and tail, but not from lean meat/minced pork or internal organs. Isolates were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction using S. suis-specific primers, did not belong

Identification and characterization of Streptococcus suis

Veterinary Microbiology, 1986
A total of 188 Streptococcus suis strains isolated from pigs with various lesions, mainly bronchopneumonia, were identified using classical biochemical methods and using the API 20 STREP system. The serological classification was performed by precipitation reactions after Lancefield extraction, slide-coagglutinations and capsular reaction tests.

Streptococcus Suis: Past and Present

Veterinary Research Communications, 1997
Steptococcus suis is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic coccus that has been implicated as the cause of a wide range of clinical disease syndromes in swine and other domestic animals. In swine, the disease has spread worldwide but is more prevalent in countries with intensive swine management practices. The disease syndromes caused by S.

Virulence Mechanisms of Streptococcus suis

1997
Streptococcus suis is a common and widespread swine pathogen which also infects other species including man, causing cases of septicaemia, bronchopneumonia, arthritis and meningitis. Capsular type 2 is the most significant cause of disease in the U.K. and both virulent and avirulent strains have been isolated.

Streptococcus suis Meningitis, a Poacher's Risk

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infections Diseases, 2000
Streptococcus suis infection is a zoonosis that has been mainly reported in pig-rearing and pork-consuming countries. The most common disease manifestation is meningitis, often associated with cochleovestibular signs. The causative agent is Streptococcus suis serotype 2, found as a commensal in the tonsils of its natural host, the pig.

Mutagenesis of Streptococcus equi and Streptococcus suis by transposon Tn917

Veterinary Microbiology, 2003
Genetic tools for studying streptococci are much less sophisticated than those that are available for many other bacterial genera. In this paper, we describe the development of a transposon mutagenesis system that we have used to mutate two important veterinary streptococci, Streptococcus equi and Streptococcus suis.

Streptococcus suis meningitis.

2013
Abstract This chapter first reviews the epidemiology of Streptococcus suis infections in humans and pigs, then describes the pathogenesis and clinical course of S. suis meningitis in humans, the role of bacteraemia in S. suis invasion of the central nervous system, and the inflammatory processes involved in S. suis meningitis.

Antimicrobial susceptibility of Streptococcus suis isolates

British Veterinary Journal, 1994
The antimicrobial activities of penicillin (PEN), ampicillin (AMP), cephalothin (CT), trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole (TMP-SMX), streptomycin (STM), and gentamicin (GM) against 122 representative strains of Streptococcus suis, were compared by the agar dilution procedure.
