physiological function | screening of 50 isolates from the three major clonal complexes found in North America (sequence types ST 1, ST25, and ST28) known to differ in their degree of virulence. All but one ST1 isolates (high virulence) are devoid of hyaluronate lyase activity whereas all ST25 (intermediate virulence) and ST28 (low virulence) isolates possess the activity | Streptococcus suis |
