Abstract:
Streptococcus suis is primarily a pig pathogen and a zoonotic agent. Recently, the isolation of S. suis strain 10-36905 from a case of meningitis in cattle was reported. The draft genome sequence of this isolate demonstrates its divergent relationship with other S. suis strains.

Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that specifically infect bacteria, utilizing their genetic material to hijack host cellular machinery for replication. DNA bacteriophages employ single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) or double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genomes. These phages exhibit diverse replication strategies and host interactions, influencing their ecological roles and applications in biotechnology and medicine.ssDNA BacteriophagesssDNA phages, with their small genomes, utilize unique strategies to...
