Abstract
A study was made of the biochemical profiles of 59 strains serotyped a s Streptococcus suis, isolated from diseased and clinically healthy pi gs. The following parameters are proposed for the identification of th e species: Voges-Proskauer negativity, hydrolysis of esculin positivit y, trehalose positivity, negativity for growth in 6.5% NaCl, and absen ce of beta-hemolysis on sheep blood agar. S. suis serotype 2 is negati ve for hippurate, pyrrolidonylarylamidase, and mannose.
