J Hommez, L A Devriese, J Henrichsen

    Veterinary Microbiology
    |April 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study identified 188 Streptococcus suis strains from pigs, classifying them into serotypes 1-8 and non-typable groups. Biochemical and serological methods were used to differentiate these important swine pathogens.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Microbiology
    • Bacteriology

    Background:

    • Streptococcus suis is a significant swine pathogen causing various diseases, including bronchopneumonia.
    • Accurate identification and serotyping are crucial for understanding epidemiology and disease control.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify and serologically classify Streptococcus suis strains isolated from diseased pigs.
    • To analyze the biochemical characteristics of different serotypes.

    Main Methods:

    • Classical biochemical identification methods.
    • API 20 STREP system for bacterial identification.
    • Serological classification using Lancefield extraction, slide-coagglutination, and capsular reaction tests.

    Main Results:

    • 188 Streptococcus suis strains were analyzed.
    • 59 strains belonged to serotypes 1, 1/2, or 2.
    • 78 strains belonged to serotypes 3-8.
    • 51 strains were non-typable.

    Conclusions:

    • The study successfully classified Streptococcus suis isolates using a combination of biochemical and serological techniques.
    • Understanding the distribution of serotypes and their biochemical profiles is essential for managing Streptococcus suis infections in swine herds.
