Figure 1. Most important sequence types (STs) of Streptococcus suis serotype 2 as determined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). ST1 serotype 2 strains are mostly associated with disease in both pigs (where data available) and humans in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America (Argentina). ST7, a single locus variant of ST1, is endemic to mainland China. The situation is different in North America, where few clinical ST1 cases of infection in pigs and only 1 human ST1 case has been described. Indeed, North American serotype 2 strains belong mainly to ST25 (human and pigs) and ST28 (pigs only). The latter ST is also associated with swine clinical cases in mainland China, Australia, Japan and Thailand. Interestingly, Japan and Thailand are the only countries also reporting ST28 human cases. Besides North America, human cases of ST25 have been reported in Australia and Thailand. Finally, ST20 is prevalent only in Europe (mostly in The Netherlands). In this figure, numbers (1, 20, 25, 28, 104) in the different hosts represent different STs (i.e. ST1, ST20, ST25, ST28, ST104) and each ST has been attributed with a different color.
