Abstract

Streptococcus suis is an important pathogen of pigs but is also transmissible to humans, with potentially fatal consequences. Among 29 serotypes currently recognized, some are clinically and epidemiologically more important than others. This is particularly true for serotypes 2 and 14, which have a large impact on pig production and also on human health. Conventional PCR-based serotyping cannot distinguish between serotype 1/2 and serotype 2 or between serotype 1 and serotype 14.
