Streptococcus suis, an emerging drug-resistant animal and human pathogen

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011
Streptococcus suis, a major porcine pathogen, has been receiving growing attention not only for its role in severe and increasingly reported infections in humans, but also for its involvement in drug resistance.

Establishment of Streptococcus suis Biofilm Infection Model In Vivo and Comparative Analysis of Gene Expression Profiles between In Vivo and In Vitro Biofilms

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Streptococcus suis is a zoonotic pathogen that continuously threatens animal husbandry and public health worldwide. Studies have shown that S. suis can cause persistent infection by forming biofilms. In this study, a model of S.

Streptococcus suisMeningitis, Hawaii

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
To the Editor: Streptococcus suis is a swine pathogen and zoonotic agent responsible for septicemia and meningitis (1). S. suis is in emergence in some Asian countries. Indeed, this pathogen has been described as the most and second-most common cause of adult meningitis in Vietnam and Thailand, respectively (2,3). Moreover, during an outbreak in People’

Clinical resistance and decreased susceptibility in Streptococcus suis isolates from clinically healthy fattening pigs [PDF]

, 2013
Streptococcus suis (S. suis) has often been reported as an important swine pathogen and is considered as a new emerging zoonotic agent. Consequently, it is important to be informed on its susceptibility to antimicrobial agents.

Molecular Epidemiology of Underreported Emerging Zoonotic Pathogen Streptococcus suis in Europe

Emerging Infectious Diseases
Streptococcus suis, a zoonotic bacterial pathogen circulated through swine, can cause severe infections in humans. Because human S. suis infections are not notifiable in most countries, incidence is underestimated.

Large-scale genomic analysis of antimicrobial resistance in the zoonotic pathogen Streptococcus suis

BMC Biology, 2021
Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is among the gravest threats to human health and food security worldwide. The use of antimicrobials in livestock production can lead to emergence of AMR, which can have direct effects on humans through spread of ...

Human Case of Streptococcus suis Disease, Ontario, Canada

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
We report a case of Streptococcus suis human disease in Ontario, Canada, caused by a serotype 2 strain genotypically similar to those commonly isolated from pigs in North America. Initially, the isolate was misidentified as a viridans group Streptococcus.

Genomic and pathogenic investigations of Streptococcus suis serotype 7 population derived from a human patient and pigs

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2021
Streptococcus suis is one of the important emerging zoonotic pathogens. Serotype 2 is most prevalent in patients worldwide. In the present study, we first isolated one S.

Streptococcus suis infection: Clinical manifestations

Medicinski pregled, 2005
Introduction Streptococcus suis is a bacterium causing a disease in pigs and rarely in humans. This zoonosis is mostly found as a sporadic disease in individuals that were in contact with the affected or infected pigs: farmers, veterinarians and workers engaged in fresh pork processing.
