- W2157060652 abstract "Streptococcus suis is a major problem in the swine industry causing meningitis, arthritis and pericarditis in piglets. Pathogenesis of S. suis is poorly understood. We previously showed that introduction of a 3kb genomic fragment from virulent serotype 2 strain 10 into a weakly virulent serotype 2 strain S735, generated a hypervirulent isolate. The 3kb genomic fragment contained two complete open reading frames (ORF) in an operon-structure of which one ORF showed similarity to folylpolyglutamate synthetase, whereas the function of the second ORF could not be predicted based on database searches for protein similarity. In this study we demonstrate that introduction of orf2 from strain 10 into strain S735 is sufficient to dramatically increase the virulence of S735 in pigs. This increase in virulence could not be associated with changes in pro-inflammatory responses of porcine blood mononucleated cells in response to S. suis in vitro. Sequence analysis of the orf2-folC-operon of S. suis isolates 10 and S735 revealed an SNP in the -35 region of the putative promoter sequence of the operon, as well as several SNPs resulting in amino acid substitutions in the ORF2 protein. Transcript levels of orf2 and folC were significantly higher in the virulent strain 10 than in the weakly virulent strain S735 and in vitro mutagenesis of the orf2 promoter confirmed that this was due to a SNP in the predicted -35 region upstream of the orf2 promoter. In this study, we demonstrated that the stronger promoter was present in all virulent and highly virulent S. suis isolates included in our study. This highlights a correlation between high orf2 expression and virulence. Conversely, the weaker promoter was present in isolates known to be weakly pathogenic or non-pathogenic. In summary, we demonstrate the importance of orf2 in the virulence of S. suis." @default.
