Streptococcus suis is a zoonotic pathogen capable of causing severe diseases in humans and pigs. Frequently, S. suis serotype 31 strains have been isolated from pigs. The first human case of S. suis was reported in Thailand in 2015. In total, 18 strains from one human and 17 clinically asymptomatic...
