Abstract EN
Streptococcus suis is a swine pathogen which can also cause severe infection, such as meningitis, and streptococcal-like toxic shock syndrome (STSS), in humans.
In China, most of the S.
suis infections in humans were reported in the southern areas with warm and humid climates, but little attention had been paid to the northern areas.
Data presented here showed that the virulent serotypes 1, 2, 7, and 9 of S.
suis could be steadily isolated from the healthy pigs in the pig farms in all the three provinces of Northeast China.
Notably, a majority of the serotype 2 isolates belonged to the 89K pathogenicity island-positive ST-7 clone that had historically caused the human STSS outbreaks in the Sichuan and Jiangsu provinces of China, although the human STSS case caused by S.
suis had never been reported in northern areas of China.
Data presented here indicated that the survey of S.
suis should be expanded to or reinforced in the northern areas of China.
