Serology of capsulated streptococci pathogenic for pigs: six new serotypes of Streptococcus suis

B Perch et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1983 Jun.

Abstract

A total of 138 capsulated strains of streptococci were isolated from pigs with various infections, notably septicemia and bronchopneumonia. Biochemically all strains were similar, and 31 strains were serologically identical to the previously described groups R, S, and RS streptococci, provisionally designated Streptococcus suis types 1, 2, and 1/2 by Elliot. The remaining 107 strains could be divided into six new capsular serotypes of S. suis.
