Abstract
Streptococcus suis (S. suis) is an important zoonotic agent, which seriously impacts the pig industry and human health in various countries. Biofilm formation is likely contributing to the virulence and drug resistance in S. suis. A better knowledge of biofilm formation as well as to biofilm-dependent drug resistance mechanisms in S. suis can be of great significance for the prevention and treatment of S. suis infections. This literature review updates the latest scientific data related to biofilm formation in S. suis and its impact on drug tolerance and resistance.
Key points
• Biofilm formation is the important reasons for drug resistance of SS infections.
• The review includes the regulatory mechanism of SS biofilm formation.
• The review includes the drug resistance mechanisms of SS biofilm.
