Genome Announc. 2015 Nov 5;3(6):e01301-15. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.01301-15.

Abstract

Streptococcus suis is a swine pathogen responsible for economic losses to the pig industry worldwide. Additionally, it is a zoonotic agent that can cause severe infections in those in close contact with infected pigs and/or who consume uncooked or undercooked pork products. Here, we report nine draft genome sequences of S. suis.
