Streptococcus suis in Hong Kong
Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2007Streptococcus 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

Streptococcus suis Meningitis, a Poacher's Risk
European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infections Diseases, 2000Streptococcus 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.

Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1992
Meningitis caused by Streptococcus suis type 2, a rare disease first recognized in 1968 (108 cases worldwide in 1989), is contracted by occupational exposure to pigs and often results in very severe disabilities (definitive deafness and ataxia in 50% of cases). We report the case of an employee in a rendering plant whose initial symptom was deafness. A

Streptococcus suis meningitis.
2013Abstract 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.

Streptococcus suis pathogenesis-A diverse array of virulence factors for a zoonotic lifestyle.
Advances in Microbial Physiology, 2021Streptococcus suis is a major cause of respiratory tract and invasive infections in pigs and is responsible for a substantial disease burden in the pig industry. S. suis is also a significant cause of bacterial meningitis in humans, particularly in South

Virulence Mechanisms of Streptococcus suis
1997Streptococcus 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 bacteraemia.
The New Zealand medical journal, 1988Streptococcus suis is a zoonotic pathogen which causes meningitis, arthritis and septicaemia in pigs, and rarely meningitis or septicaemia in humans. This organism has recently been isolated from pigs in New Zealand, where it appears to be widely distributed in pig herds. This case is the first report of human infection in New Zealand.

Identification and characterization of Streptococcus suis
Veterinary Microbiology, 1986A 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 meningitis in the Netherlands
Journal of Infection, 2008We 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.

Human meningitis caused by Streptococcus suis
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2013Streptococcus suis is an important swine pathogen worldwide, which can be transmitted to human beings by direct contact; therefore, S. suis infections occur mainly in people who handle pigs or pork. We present a case of a patient with S. suis meningitis who worked as a butcher in a meat processing plant for 5 years.
