The epidemiological studies of S. suis infections in Japan were carried out between 1987 to 1991. A total of 380 S. suis strains isolated from pigs, cattle and a horse were serotyped by using antisera against S. suis types 1 to 22. A total of 318 (83.7%) of S. suis isolates were serologically typable. Serotype 2 was the most prevalent with 28.2%, followed by type 7 (10.8%), 1/2 (8.4%), 3 (7.4%) and 4 (5.5%). Of twenty S. suis strains isolated from cattle, eight were type 9, one was type 10, five were type 18, one was type 20 and five were untypable. One out of all the strains was also isolated from a racing horse with pneumonia. The majority of the isolates were originated from meningitis (38.2%), followed by from pneumonia (33.4%) and endocarditis (9.2%). Of all of the S. suis isolates, 333 isolates (87.6%) were identified correctly by API STREP 20 system.

Gut mucosal immunity of teleost is mainly governed by mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues (MALT) and indigenous microbiota on mucosal surfaces of gut tract, which can confer protection against pathogenic invasion. However, the probiotic features of bacterial isolates from gut tract of triploid cyprinid fish (TCF) were largely unclear. In this study, Lysinibacillus and Enterobacter strains were isolated for probiotic identification.

An unprecedented global outbreak caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV) prompted the World Health Organization to declare a public health emergency of international concern on July 23, 2022. Therapeutics and vaccines for MPXV are not widely available, necessitating further studies, particularly in drug repurposing area. To this end, the standardization of in vitro infection systems is essential.
