摘要: Streptococcus suis serotype 2 (S. suis 2) is a major pathogen causing streptococcosis in swine, resulting in significant losses in swine breeding worldwide. We previously reported that the non-antibiotic-resistant double-mutant strain Delta SspepO/Delta SspspC can be used as a live vaccine, providing effective protection against S. suis 2 infections in mice. This study aimed to understand the characteristics of streptococcosis and develop vaccine candidates for immunization. Intramuscular injection of live S. suis Delta SspepO/Delta SspspC in pigs induced discernable antibody production and provided cross-protection against challenges by a type 2 strain (100% protection) and a type 7 strain (60% protection). Protection was evaluated via clinical, bacteriological, serological, and post-mortem examinations. Furthermore, vaccination induced the production of opsonizing antibodies against serotypes 2 and 7. Analysis of IgG subclasses (IgG1 and IgG2a) revealed that both Th1 and Th2 responses were induced by S. suis Delta SspepO/Delta SspspC, although the IgG2a (Thl) response predominated over the IgG1 (Th2) response. This study is the first, to our knowledge, to establish a live vaccine candidate to protect against two major S. suis serotypes. Further studies are required to assess these candidate vaccines and examine their feasibility in providing cross-protection against S. suis. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
