Capsular polysaccharide switching in Streptococcus suis modulates host cell interactions and virulence

Abstract The capsular polysaccharide (CPS) of Streptococcus suis defines various serotypes based on its composition and structure. Though serotype switching has been suggested to occur between S. suis strains, its impact on pathogenicity and virulence remains unknown. Herein, we experimentally gener...
