Streptococcus suis
Streptococcus suis is a peanut-shaped, Gram-positive bacterium, and an important pathogen of pigs.
Endemic in nearly all countries with an extensive pig industry, Streptococcus suis is also a zoonotic disease, capable of transmission to humans from pigs.
Humans can be infected with S. suis when they handle infected pig carcasses or meat, especially with exposed cuts and abrasions on their hands. Human infection can be severe, with meningitis, septicaemia, endocarditis, and deafness as possible outcomes of infection.
