Role of Maturation of Lipoproteins in the Pathogenesis of the Infection Caused by <i>Streptococcus suis</i> Serotype 2

<i>Streptococcus suis</i> serotype 2 is an important porcine bacterial pathogen associated with multiple pathologies in piglets. Bacterial lipoproteins (LPPs) have been described as playing important roles in the pathogenesis of the infection of other Gram-positive bacteria as adhesins,...
