Abstract
This second and final chapter of the report on the First International Workshop on
Streptococcus suis follows on from Part 1, published in the April 2014, volume 9, issue
4 of Future Microbiology. S. suis is a swine pathogen and a zoonotic agent afflicting
people in close contact with infected pigs or pork meat. Although sporadic cases of
human infections had been reported worldwide, deadly S. suis outbreaks emerged in
Asia. The severity of the disease underscores the lack of knowledge on the virulence
and zoonotic evolution of this human-infecting agent. The pathogenesis of the
infection, interactions with host cells and new avenues for treatments were among
the topics discussed during the First International Workshop on S. suis (China 2013).
