| Research Abstract |
Clinical and microbiological research on Streptococcus suis infection in Thailand
Of 179 human cases whose bacterial cultures for blood and/ or cerebrospinal fluid were positive for Streptococcus suis during 2006-2008 in Thailand, the major pathogens are serotype 2(92. 2%), followed by serotype 14(6. 7%). Previously unreported cases caused by serotype 5 and 24 were also confirmed. 58. 9% of human cases with serotype 2 was meningitis. The major sequence type(ST) 1 strains were significantly associated with the meningitis. In a study in Phayao province in 2010, the estimated incidence rate was 6. 2 per 100, 000 in the general population. Consumption of raw pork products was confirmed in 22 cases(71%) and the incubation period was 2 days after consumption of raw pork products.
