The isolated strain was identified as S. suis serotype 2, and classified to ST25 on multilocus sequence typing (MLST). The minimum core genome group of the strain was identified as Group 4, and multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) assigned it as type 2, 4.4, 0, 9, 3, 2, 0, 0. An antimicrobial resistance analysis showed that the strain was resistant to clindamycin, tetracycline, azithromycin, and erythromycin but sensitive to 11 other antibiotics. In a genomic evolution analysis, this isolate clustered on the same branch as North American pig isolate, Chinese pig isolates from Tianjin, and Hubei pig isolates.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens14080742","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,28]],"date-time":"2025-07-28T16:00:37Z","timestamp":1753718437000},"page":"742","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Genomic and Antimicrobial Resistance Analysis of an ST25 Streptococcus suis Strain Isolated from a Human in Zhejiang Province, China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Shuirong","family":"Zhu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Hangzhou 310051, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaofang","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Huzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Huzhou 313000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-3816-0079","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenwu","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Hangzhou 310051, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhuoying","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Hangzhou 310051, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lingbo","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Hangzhou 310051, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhangnv","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Hangzhou 310051, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Beibei","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Hangzhou 310051, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanjun","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Hangzhou 310051, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"350416","article-title":"Correlation between PFGE Groups and mrp\/epf\/sly Genotypes of Human Streptococcus suis Serotype 2 in Northern Thailand","volume":"2014","author":"Tharavichitkul","year":"2014","journal-title":"J.
