Summary:

This volume covers the classic and new techniques used to study the zoonotic pathogen Streptococcus suis. The chapters in this book cover are organized in four sections and cover topics such as techniques for cultivation, isolation, typing of S. suis biofilm formation and genetic manipulation; analysis of antibiotic resistance and transference; detection in pigs and infection models; and evaluation of economic impact and prevention. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Comprehensive and thorough, Streptococcus suis: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for both novel and expert researchers who want to expand their knowledge of this important field.
