Progress on research of comparative genomics of Streptococcus suis

  • Streptococcus suis is an important zoonotic agent and could cause outbreaks of the infections among pigs and humans. Over the past five years, great progress had been achieved in the field of S. suis genomics. By now six S. suis genomes have been sequenced and publicly available. Furthermore, the application of new comparative genomics technologies on such genomes had led to the identification of new pathogenicity islands and pathogenesis-related genes, which greatly boosted the research on pathogenic mechanisms of S. suis.
