Novel molecular markers of disease-association among strains of Streptococcus suis: a genomic approach
… novel molecular markers to differentiate Streptococcus suis (S. suis) isolates into two populations, i) disease-associated and ii) non-disease associated. S. suis is a Gram-positive coccus that is considered one of the most important zoonotic bacterial pathogens of swine responsible for …

Studies of a Novel Phage Lytic Enzyme, PlySs2
<p>Streptococcus suis infects pigs worldwide and may be zoonotically transmitted to humans with a mortality rate of up to 20%. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococci – GrAS) cause potentially fatal human diseases. These are just three of …

Cytokine modulations by type I interferon suppression-negative and NF-κB activation-negative Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus
… mutant PRRSVs alone or coinfected with Streptococcus suis (S. suis) Intracellular survival of S. suis was measured in coinfection groups, and NF-κB luciferase assays and RT-qPCR were used to determine cytokines modulations. PD-∆135-NLS most significantly attenuated the TNF-α, IL-1β, …

Expanding the Horizons of Enzybiotic Identification
… 2 lysins were cloned from prophage of Streptococcus suis, an important veterinary and emerging zoonotic pathogen. One of these S. suis enzymes (PlySs1) was identified by applying the two-step screen to the genome of an unsequenced clinical strain. The other (PlySs2) was identified in a …
