infection with Streptococcus suis  

Definition

  • Information Infection with Streptococcus suis is a zoonotic disease caused by the bacterium Streptococcus suis. It is a significant disease in pigs, primarily affecting postweaned piglets and causing septicemia with sudden death, meningitis, arthritis, and endocarditis. Apart from pigs (including wild boars), it can occasionally be found in other animals such as horses, dogs, cats and birds. Human infection by S. suis occurs mainly in adults.
