75 porcineS. suisisolates evaluated with the pathotyping tool.

Isolates were chosen based on the fact of an unequivocal link of etiologically relevant S. suis diseased or non-disease-associated pigs. Pathotyping results, which did not correspond to the results obtained by histopathological findings, are indicated in red.* indicates two isolates, which were included in the evaluation although a record of histopathological findings was missing, but due to evident bacteriological findings and appropriate anamnesis, strains were evaluated as relevant. mrp variants identified: mrp^S (747 bp), mpr (1148 bp), mrp* (1556 bp), mrp*** (2400 bp). epf* represents a large variant of epf, which was detected only in one isolate (19-1715-1). +* relates to the pathotyping tool representing a variant PCR product of copper exporting ATPase gene.

^aNontypeable.

^bNot determined (nd): one lacking housekeeping gene.

^cNo clonal complex could be assigned for ST that occurred as singletons (S) or with no determined founder (ndf).

^dUngroupable: allele missing.

^eNovel: allel combination not described for MCG sequencing typing by Zheng et al. [42].

^fWileman et al. [31].
