Identification of the methionine transporter MetQ in Streptococcus suis and its contribution to virulence and biofilm formation

Abstract Streptococcus suis is a Gram-positive bacterium responsible for various infections in both pigs and humans. This study investigates the role of methionine acquisition in the growth and virulence of S. suis. The putative methionine transport system is organised as an operon comprising the me...
