Streptococcus suis is a causative agent of swine and human infections. Genomic analysis indicated that eight S. suis serotype 5 strains recovered from human patients and pigs carried many virulence-associated genes and markers defining pathogenic pathotypes. The strains were sequence types diverse a...
