Identification and Characterization of the cps Locus of Streptococcus suis Serotype 2: the Capsule Protects against Phagocytosis and Is an Important Virulence Factor

To study the role of the capsule of Streptococcus suis serotype 2 in virulence, we generated two isogenic mutants disturbed in capsule production. For that purpose, we first cloned and characterized a major part of the capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis (cps) locus of S. suis serotype 2. Based on...
