Detection and Sequence Analysis of the Gene Encoding Suilysin from Streptcoccus suis type 2 Strains Isolated in Jiangsu Province

A hemolysin gene from six streptcoccus suis type 2 strains isolated in Jiangsu was amplified by PCR using a pair of specific primers.The PCR product from strain HA9801 was sequenced and nucleotide sequence analysis revealed the hemolysin gene from strain HA9801 had a high homology to strains 1933(99%).
