J Bacteriol. 2011 Jul;193(13):3428-9. doi: 10.1128/JB.05018-11. Epub 2011 May 13.

Abstract

Streptococcus suis is a zoonotic pathogen causing economic loss in the swine industry and is also a threat to human health. To date, the mechanism of pathogenesis is not fully understood. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of S. suis strain ST3 of serotype 3, which provides opportunities to reveal genetic basis of infection of S. suis non-serotype 2 strains.
