Streptococcus suis  ( S. suis ) infection is considered to be a major problem in the swine industry worldwide. Based on the capsular type, 33 serotypes of  S. suis  have been described, with serotype 2 (SS2) being the most frequently isolated from diseased piglets. Little is known, however, about the pathogenesis and virulence factors of  S. suis . Research on bacteriophages highlights a new area in  S. suis  research. A  S. suis  serotype 2 bacteriophage, designated SMP, has been previously isolated in our laboratory. Here, we selected a lysogenic isolate in which the SMP phage was integrated into the chromosome of strain SS2-4. Compared to the wild-type isolate, the lysogenic strain showed increased mortality in zebra fish. Moreover the sensitivity of the lysogenic strain to lysozyme was seven times higher than that of the wild-type.
