ABSTRACT:
Streptococcus suis is a pathogen causing serious disease in pigs. It may also be infectious to man. The Streptococcus suis adhesin protein is useful in diagnosis and therapy of said bacteria. Also fragmets of the unique N-terminal part of said protein are immunogenic and can be used in diagnosis an as vaccines. The invention therefore relates to said S. suis adhesin protein fragments, antibodies thereto and nucleotide sequences coding for said fragments. The invention further relates to immunoassay and PCR methods for diagnosing S. suis.
