Spread of Streptococcus suis Sequence Type 7, China

Spread of Streptococcus suis Sequence Type 7, China

Streptococcus suis sequence type (ST) 7 has been spreading throughout China. To determine events associated with its emergence, we tested 114 isolates. In all 106 ST7 strains responsible for human outbreaks and sporadic infections, the tetracycline-resistance gene, tetM, was detected on the conjugat...
