abstract = "Streptococcus suis infection is one of the major health problems in the
swine industry worldwide. During the last decade, the number of reported human
cases due to S. suis has dramatically increased, and while most sporadic human
cases of infection appear to be due to close occupational contact with pigs/pork
products. S. suis infection is considered to be multifactorial, with transition from
subclinical to clinical that depends on many factors. These factors can be divided in
two groups, host-based and external factors. Pathogenesis of S. suis infection can
be divided into 4 phases: adherence to and colonisation of mucosal and epithelial
surfaces, invasion into deeper tissues and entering the bloodstream, crossing bloodbrain
barrier and inflammation. S. suis virulence-associated factors are divided into
the following 4 groups: surface/secreted elements, enzymes (such as including
proteases), transcription factors and regulatory systems and other factors (such as
transporting and secreting systems). Therefore significant research support is needed
to obtain a vaccine as a valuable and universal protection against disease caused by S.
suis strains and thus national and international support will be crucial for the aim many
researchers hope for.",
