Rapid evolution of virulence and drug resistance in the emerging zoonotic pathogen Streptococcus suis
Background Streptococcus suis is a zoonotic pathogen that infects pigs and can occasionally cause serious infections in humans. S. suis infections occur sporadically in human Europe and North America, but a recent major outbreak has been described in China with high levels of mortality. The mechanis...
