Streptococcus suis is an important pig pathogen which is associated with respiratory problems, meningitis and less fre-quently with a variety of other conditions( 1986). S. suis type 1 causes disease mainly in 1–2 week old pigs while serotype 2 is found commoaily in 2–22 week old pigs, S. suis type 2 is a zoonosis. It can cause meningitis and septicaemia in man ( 1985). Several other serotypes of S. suis have also been identified on the basis of the capsular poly-saccharide ( 1983, 1986). We present a case where we isolated S. suis types 1 and 2 from the brain and lungs respectively of the same diseased suckling piglet. This i/s the first reported case of S. suis types 1 and 2 in Finland.
猪链球菌是一种重要的猪病原体,与呼吸道问题、脑膜炎有关,较少与其他各种病症相关(1986年)。1型猪链球菌主要在1至2周龄的仔猪中引起疾病,而2型血清型常见于2至22周龄的猪中,2型猪链球菌是人畜共患病。它可在人类中引起脑膜炎和败血症(1985年)。还根据荚膜多糖鉴定出了猪链球菌的其他几种血清型(1983年、1986年)。我们报告了一例病例,从同一患病哺乳仔猪的大脑和肺部分别分离出1型和2型猪链球菌。这是芬兰首次报告的1型和2型猪链球菌病例。
