Abstract
In the world of Streptococcus, S. suis has been somewhat neglected. Indeed, at this year's Lancefield International Symposium on Streptococci and Streptococcal Diseases, only one oral presentation was devoted to this pathogen. However, this perception should change, because S. suis is emerging as an important threat to human health.Keywords
