The cell envelope subtilisin-like proteinase is a virulence determinant for Streptococcus suis.
Laetitia Bonifait,María de la Cruz Domínguez-Punaro,Katy Vaillancourt,Christian Bart,Josh Slater,Michel Frenette,Marcelo Gottschalk,Daniel Grenier +7 more
TL;DR: A gene coding for a cell surface subtilisin-like serine proteinase that is widely distributed in S. suis is identified and assessed for its potential as a virulence factor.
Molecular characterisation of 'strangles' outbreaks in the UK: the use of M-protein typing of Streptococcus equi ssp. equi
P. A. S. Ivens,D. Matthews,K. Webb,J. R. Newton,K. Steward,Andrew S. Waller,C. Robinson,Josh Slater +7 more
TL;DR: Strangles outbreaks can be differentiated on the basis of their SeM allele sequences and Sequencing of the SeM gene is a useful tool for the elucidation of strangles epidemiology at a regional and a national level.

New putative virulence factors of Streptococcus suis involved in invasion of porcine brain microvascular endothelial cells
Ghyslaine Vanier,Nahuel Fittipaldi,Josh Slater,María de la Cruz Domínguez-Punaro,Andrew N. Rycroft,Mariela Segura,Duncan J. Maskell,Marcelo Gottschalk +7 more
TL;DR: The screening of a mutant library, produced by insertion of transposon Tn917 into the chromosome of S. suis strain P1/7, for mutants that are less able to interact with porcine brain microvascular endothelial cells forming the blood-brain barrier, suggests that these two genes may contribute to the virulence of the strain.
