- Abstract
Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus (S. zooepidemicus) is one of the most common pathogens of endometritis in intensive donkey farms. In order to investigate the molecular epidemiological characteristics of S. zooepidemicus isolates associated with endometritis in intensive donkey breeding farms in China, isolates (n=40) from 8 small and medium-sized breeding farms were selected for multilocus sequence typing analysis. Results revealed that 4 sequence types (STs) were identified, ST360, ST380, ST413, and a novel genotype ST-novel, and these were genetically distant from each other, which suggested that S. zooepidemicus strains caused endometritis in intensive donkey farms possessed high genetic diversity and were lack of genotype specificity. The result of present study contributed to the understanding of the molecular epidemiological characteristics of S. zooepidemicus isolates.
