摘要

The present invention provides attenuated S. suis strains that elicit an immune response in animal S. suis, compositions comprising said strains, methods of vaccination against S. suis, and kits for use with such methods and compositions. The invention further provides novel, mutagenically-induced mutations in S. suis genes, which are useful in the production of novel attenuated S. suis bacterial strains.
