Abstract

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 pigs in Thailand were analyzed to characterize S. suis serotype 31. In total, 11 different STs were identified, with the major ST being ST2767 (38.89 %; 7/18). The minimum core-genome (MCG) classification revealed that almost all of the serotype 31 strains belonged to MCG7 (94.44 %; 17/18). Genomic analysis revealed that the serotype 31 isolates were major clusters with the porcine-healthy strains from China, Viet Nam, and Thailand. The human serotype 31 ST221 isolate was closely related to S. suis serotype 5 and 24 strains (CC221/234) isolated from Thailand. All serotype 31 strains were multidrug resistant with resistance to azithromycin (100 %; 18/18) and tetracycline (100 %; 18/18). Notably, 10 (55.56 %) of the serotype 31 strains were resistant to penicillin, while 8 strains (44.44 %) showed intermediate resistance to this agent. High substitutions were observed in three penicillin-binding proteins (1 A, 2B, and 2X) of these serotype 31 strains. The most prevalent antimicrobial resistance genes were erm(B) (100 %; 18/18) and tet(O) (66.67 %; 12/18). Overall, 7 strains carried integrative conjugative elements (ICEs) that harbored antimicrobial resistance genes, such as erm(B), tet(O), and tet(W). This study contribute to understanding the genomic diversity and provide valuable information for public health awareness of multidrug-resistant S. suis serotype 31.

期刊介绍： Veterinary Microbiology is concerned with microbial (bacterial, fungal, viral) diseases of domesticated vertebrate animals (livestock, companion animals, fur-bearing animals, game, poultry, fish) that supply food, other useful products or companionship. In addition, Microbial diseases of wild animals living in captivity, or as members of the feral fauna will also be considered if the infections are of interest because of their interrelation with humans (zoonoses) and/or domestic animals. Studies of antimicrobial resistance are also included, provided that the results represent a substantial advance in knowledge. Authors are strongly encouraged to read - prior to submission - the Editorials (''Scope or cope'' and ''Scope or cope II'') published previously in the journal. The Editors reserve the right to suggest submission to another journal for those papers which they feel would be more appropriate for consideration by that journal. Original research papers of high quality and novelty on aspects of control, host response, molecular biology, pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of microbial diseases of animals are published. Papers dealing primarily with immunology, epidemiology, molecular biology and antiviral or microbial agents will only be considered if they demonstrate a clear impact on a disease. Papers focusing solely on diagnostic techniques (such as another PCR protocol or ELISA) will not be published - focus should be on a microorganism and not on a particular technique. Papers only reporting microbial sequences, transcriptomics data, or proteomics data will not be considered unless the results represent a substantial advance in knowledge. Drug trial papers will be considered if they have general application or significance. Papers on the identification of microorganisms will also be considered, but detailed taxonomic studies do not fall within the scope of the journal. Case reports will not be published, unless they have general application or contain novel aspects. Papers of geographically limited interest, which repeat what had been established elsewhere will not be considered. The readership of the journal is global.
