A Case-Control Study to Investigate the Serotypes and Untypable Streptococcus Suis Strains A case-control study to investigate the serotypes and untypable Streptococcus suis strains recovered from nursery pigs on 12 farms in Ontario, Canada between 2017 and 2018 by Leann Cynthia Denich A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Population Medicine Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Leann Cynthia Denich, January, 2020 ABSTRACT A CASE-CONTROL STUDY TO INVESTIGATE THE SEROTYPES AND UNTYPABLE STREPTOCOCCUS SUIS STRAINS RECOVERED FROM NURSERY PIGS ON 12 FARMS IN ONTARIO, CANADA BETWEEN 2017 AND 2018 Leann Cynthia Denich Advisors: University of Guelph, 2020 Dr. Zvonimir Poljak, Dr. Vahab Farzan Streptococcus suis is an important bacterial pathogen in swine that naturally colonizes the nasal cavity and tonsil of many pigs. Outbreaks tend to be sporadic and are typically seen in piglets 4- 8-weeks of age. It is still unclear why some pigs remain healthy, while others become systemically ill with infection. A case-control study was conducted to better understand the serotypes and untypable strains that are recovered from clinically ill and healthy pigs from Ontario nursery pigs. Firstly, we identified that the S. suis serotypes most commonly found in clinically ill pigs, from systemic sites included serotype (2,1/2), 9 and untypable isolates. There was also no association between serotypes found in upper respiratory sites of clinically ill and healthy pigs. Secondly, based on whole genome sequencing we determined that untypable isolates could be classified into 3 groups with respect to their similarity to existing serotypes which included ≥99% similar, between 50-98% similar or <50% similar to existing serotypes. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many people were influential to the completion of this thesis and I would like to take this opportunity to thank each of them for all their contributions. First, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to my advisory committee, Dr. Zvonimir Poljak, Dr. Vahab Farzan, Dr. Robert Friendship, Dr. Nicole Ricker and Dr. Marcelo Gottschalk as without their continuous guidance and support, this thesis would not have been possible. A big thank you to Food from Thoughts First Excellence Fund for providing funding for this research and all additional members of the S. suis project team, as their input greatly assisted with the quality of this work. I would also like to thank the swine practitioners at South West Ontario Veterinary Services and Demeter’s Veterinary Services for helping organize farm visits and of course the swine producers for agreeing to take part in the study. I am grateful for the guidance and mentorship received from Emily Arndt, Maria Amezcua and Eric Perrin. I would also like to thank my fellow graduate students and lab mates Sarah Hill, Jeremy Wong, Kash Kuruppu, Chris Mclaren-Almond, Karen DeBruyn, Kayla Silva, Matthew McBride, Emily Hanna and Jordan Pelkmans, not only for their technical assistance during experimentation, statistical analysis and writing, but for their friendship, entertainment and support through many challenges. Thank you to my friends for making my academic career one to remember and last but by no means least, I would like to thank my family for providing me with unfailing support and continuous encouragement throughout my years of study and through the process of researching and writing this thesis. A very special thanks goes out to my biggest supporter, my brother, Eric iv Denich, who has provided me with moral and emotional support throughout this entire journey, I cannot thank you enough for putting up with me and listening to and editing every part of this project, this is just as much yours, as it is mine! v CONTRIBUTIONS Leann Denich contributed to the project planning, participated in field work, collection of samples, processing of samples, data management and analyses, interpretation of results, dissemination of results and was principal author of all the chapters in this manuscript.

  • Novel Molecular Markers of Disease-Association Among Strains of Streptococcus Suis
    Novel molecular markers of disease-association among strains of Streptococcus suis: a genomic approach Thomas Mathew Wileman This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2018 University of Cambridge Department of Veterinary Medicine i Novel molecular markers of disease-association among strains of Streptococcus suis: a genomic approach Thomas Mathew Wileman ii Abstract This thesis focuses on the use of a genomic approach to identify novel molecular markers to differentiate Streptococcus suis (S. suis) isolates into two populations, i) disease-associated and ii) non-disease associated. S. suis is a Gram-positive coccus that is considered one of the most important zoonotic bacterial pathogens of swine responsible for significant economic losses to swine production worldwide. Importantly, S. suis is not only an invasive pathogen but also a very successful coloniser of mucosal surfaces; often endemic in swine populations sampled. The widescale use of antibiotics to control and prevent the various clinical manifestations caused by S. suis has become unsustainable, due to increases in antibiotic resistance and government pressures. Other popular control strategies, such as the development of efficacious vaccines, are hindered by differences in virulence not only between but also within S. suis serotypes, as well as, the lack of a detailed understanding of the role in pathogenesis of many proposed virulence-factors. As a result, the detection of S. suis in asymptomatic swine herds is of little practical value in predicting the likelihood of future clinical relevance. This thesis aims to further understanding of the role the S. suis genome has in pathogenesis. The value of future surveillance and preventative health management lies in the detection of strains that genetically have increased potential to cause disease in presently healthy animals.

Research focusing on the intestinal microbiota often use fecal samples as a representative of the bacteria that inhabit the end of the large intestine. These studies revealed that the intestinal bacteria contribute to our health, which has stimulated the interest in understanding their dynamics and activities.

The chemical analysis of this secretion shows that it consists of 17 compounds including acids, aldehydes, lactones and other miscellaneous compounds. Cultures of the secretion showed the presence of a symbiotic bacterium resident within the gland. Antibiotic treatment of the gland suggested that this bacterium was instrumental in the synthesis of the secretion of P. purpureus. This bacterium has not previously been identified and has been proposed as ‘Enterococcus phoeniculicola’ (GenBank accession number: AY028437).
