Clonal distribution of an atypical MRP+, EF*, and suilysin+ phenotype of virulent Streptococcus suis serotype 2 strains in Brazil.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Streptococcus suis is considered one of the most important bacterial swine pathogens worldwide. The distribution of the 35 described serotypes in diseased animals may vary in different regions. Data regarding S. suis isolation from pigs in South America is not available. In the present study, 51 isolates of S. suis recovered in pure culture or as the predominant species from diseased animals in Brazil, were analyzed. These isolates were classified as serotypes 2 (58.8%), 3 (21.5%), 7 (13.7%), 1 (3.9%), and 14 (2%). Serotype 2 isolates were further studied for their production of virulence-related proteins muramidase-released protein (MRP), extracellular factor (EF), and suilysin. In addition, the genetic diversity was studied by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA. All but 1 of the serotype 2 isolates showed a clonal distribution of an atypical phenotype (MRP+, EF*, suilysin+), different from the known European (MRP+, EF+, suilysin+), and North American (MRPv, EF-, suilysin-), phenotypes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
