diagnostics | GDH electrophoretic type (ETs) and sequence types may serve as useful markers in predicting the pathogenic behavior of strains of this serotype and that the molecular basis for the observed differences in the ETs is amino acid substitutions and not deletion, insertion, or processing uniqueness | Streptococcus suis |

physiological function | GDH enzymes of 19 Streptococcus suis serotype 2 strains, consisting of 18 swine isolates and 1 human clinical isolate from a geographically varied collection, are analyzed by activity staining on a nondenaturing gel. DNA sequences contain base pair differences, but most are silent. Cluster analysis of the deduced amino acid sequences separated the isolates into three groups (ETI, ETII, ETIII). Gene exchange studies results in the change of ETI to ETII and vice versa. A spectrophotometric activity assay for GDH do not show significant differences between the groups | Streptococcus suis |
