Analysis of the capsular polysaccharide synthesis locus in a collection of Streptococcus suis field isolates isolated in the Czech Republic
Original language description
Streptococcus suis is considered an important bacterial swine pathogen responsible for various diseases such as meningitis, endocarditis, arthritis, and septicemia leading to sudden death and therefore contributes to significant economic losses in the swine industry. In addition, S. suis is a zoonotic pathogen that can be transmitted to humans and cause disease, mainly arthritis, meningitis and streptococcal toxic shock-like syndrome. One of the main virulence factors is the presence of capsular polysaccharide (CPS). There are 29 serotypes based on serological reactions against the CPS, but serologically untypeable strains are often found, which suggests that S. suis has more serotypes than has been reported so far. Recently, the novel cps loci (NCLs) were identified in non-serotypeable isolates. Strains of Streptococcus suis are genotypically and phenotypically very different, and strains of the same serotype can differ significantly at the genomic level. We performed an analysis of capsular polysaccharide synthesis loci in 123 field samples isolated from diseased farm animals in the Czech Republic in 2018-2020.
