The S. suis serotype 9 (S9) AgI/II is implicated in colonization of the porcine respiratory tract. An intranasal porcine model of infection was used to determine the implication of the S. suis S9 AgI/II in colonization of the nasal cavity (A) and tonsils 21 days post-infection (B). Data represent the mean ± SEM from at least three independent experiments. *(p < 0.05) and **(p < 0.01) indicate a significant difference between presence of the S. suis S9 wild-type strain and the agI/II-deficient mutant (S9ΔagI/II).
