Streptococcus suis is a swine bacterial pathogen that predominantly causes disease in weaned piglets characterized by swelling of joints, arthritis, septicemia, meningitis, and sudden death. Intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, and intranasal infection models were developed to study the bacterial pathogenicity and efficacy of vaccines and various therapeutics. The selection of the appropriate infection model is a critical step in any study, as it may impact the outcomes of the study. Here we describe a method for infecting weaned piglets with S. suis using intraperitoneal route as a reliable, consistent, and reproducible animal model to evaluate vaccine protection against systemic bacterial infection.
