We studied 73 swine-exposed and 67 non-swine-exposed US adults for antibodies to S. suis serotype 2. Serologic data suggest that human infection with S. suis occurs more frequently than currently documented. | Source Title: | Emerging Infectious Diseases | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/181018 | ISSN: | 10806040 | DOI: | 10.3201/eid1412.080162 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
