To investigate the distribution of virulence associate factors of Streptococcus suis(SS),seven virulence factors were detected by PCR amplification,namely the glutamate dehydrogenase gene(gdh),the capsular polysaccharides gene(cps),the extracellular factor gene(epf),the muramidase-released protein gene(mrp),the suilysin gene(sly),the fibronectin-binding protein gene(fpbs) and the virulence-associated sequence orf2.Twenty-nine virulent isolates from China including twenty-five SS2,one SS1,one SS7 and two SS9,were detected by PCR method.96%(24/25) were positive of cps+/gdh+/epf+/mrp+/sly+/fbps+/orf2+ and only one virulent SS2 isolate was cps+/gdh+/epf-/mrp+/sly+/fbps+/orf2+.Two strains of SS1 and SS7 were cps-/gdh+/epf-/mrp-/sly+/fbps-/orf2+,while,two strains of SS9 were cps-/gdh+/epf-/mrp-/sly-/fbps-/orf2+.The results showed the distribution of virulent associate factors of virulent streptococcus suis in China was different from isolates of Europe.The prevalent strains of SS2 in China were highly virulent stains which contain all seven virulence factors.
