Journal ArticleDOI
An update on Streptococcus suis identification.
TL;DR: The knowledge of biochemical confirms that types other than capsular type 2 could characterization and serotyping of S. suis may be pathogenic for more than 1 animal species and there is an urgent need for a standardization of the techniques for capsular typing.
