EnglishStreptococcus suis serotype 2 is a major Gram-positive swine pathogen, causing also zoonoses. We describe here the immunoprotective activity in an in vivo animal model of a serotype-2 cell wall protein, designated Sat, which was identified by a previously validated proteomics approach consisting of the protease digestion of live bacteria and the selective recovery of exposed domains, followed by LC/MS/MS analysis. Increased survival rate (80%) and decreased bacterial burden were observed in mice immunized with a recombinant Sat fragment, suggesting that this protein is a potential vaccine candidate against serotype-2 infection.
