Fourteen new capsular types of Streptococcus suis (types 9 to 22) are described. All reference strains are morphologically and biochemically similar to types previously described. Reference strain types 9 to 13, 15, 16, and 22 were isolated from diseased pigs, whereas types 17 to 19 and 21 came from clinically healthy pigs; type 14 was isolated from a human case of meningitis, and type 20 was isolated from a diseased calf. The group T streptococcus of de Moor has been included in the typing system as type 15. Two-way cross-reactions between types 6 and 16 and a one-way cross-reaction between types 2 and 22 have been demonstrated. In addition, several cross-reactions probably not due to capsular material were detected among different types by using the coagglutination test. This test should not be used alone; weak or multiple positive reactions must be confirmed by the capsular reaction test or the capillary precipitation test. Streptococcus suis is an important swine pathogen isolated in almost all countries where the pig industry is developed. It has been associated mainly with bronchopneumonia and meningitis and less frequently with endocarditis, arthritis, and other infections (2, 10, 18, 19, 25, 26, 28). It is also known to cause meningitis in humans (1, 6, 30). Originally defined as Lancefield groups R, S, RS, and T by de Moor (7), strains of S. suis were later shown to share antigens with group D streptococci (8). The capsule on S. suis cells suggested a type-specific antigenicity, and groups
