Abstract
Loss of 89K Pathogenicity Island in Epidemic Streptococcus suis, China.
Highlights
We report 10 recurrent cases of human S. suis infections during 2008–2015 in southern China
Microbial and molecular assays proved that these clinical isolates were S. suis
Subsequent analyses by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis revealed that genotypes are diverse among these clinical strains, which can be roughly divided into 6 groups
Summary
We report 10 recurrent cases of human S. suis infections during 2008–2015 in southern China. Microbial and molecular assays proved that these clinical isolates were S. suis (online Technical Appendix Figures 1, 2, http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/EID/article/22/6/15-2010Techapp1.pdf). Multiplex PCR–based molecular determination (16S rDNA, mrp, epf, and cps-2j) suggested that all strains except Stre13002 were SS2 (online Technical Appendix Figure 2) (3).
