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.
猪链球菌(Streptococcus suis)是一种引起养猪业经济损失的动物病原体,也是对人类健康的威胁。迄今为止,其发病机制尚不完全清楚。在这里,我们报告了血清型 3 的 S. suis 菌株 ST3 的完整基因组序列,这为揭示非 2 型 S. suis 菌株感染的遗传基础提供了机会。
