Abstract: Streptococcus suisS. suis)is a momentous zoonotic pathogen, with wide range of epidemic and strong ability of pathogenic, which could cause a series of swine disease as well as pose a serious threat to human health. In recent years, some reports about S. suis infected people and animals are increasing, and it attracted people’s widespread attention gradually. The first step of the pathogenesis of S. suis infection is the adhesion to host, the studies onthe adhesion and virulence factors (such asplcR, etc.)of the bacterium have become a research hotspot. In the review, the adhesion and virulence factors of S. suis were mainly overviewed, meanwhile, the main adherentmechanism and involved virulence factors were summarized, the aim of it is to lay a foundation for the further study of S. suis, and to provide a reference for prevention and control of S. suis infection.

Key words: S. suis, adhesion mechanism, virulence factor
