Vaccine for protection against
The present invention pertains to a vaccine comprising in combination an IgM protease antigen of Streptococcus suis and a Streptococcus suis bacterin of serotype (9), sequence type (16), for use in a method for protecting pigs against a pathogenic infection with Streptococcus suis serotype (9), sequence type (16).
1. A method for protecting pigs against a pathogenic infection with Streptococcus suis serotype 9, sequence type 16 comprising administering to a pig a combination of an IgM protease antigen of Streptococcus suis and a Streptococcus suis bacterin serotype 9, sequence type 16.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the IgM protease antigen of Streptococcus suis and the Streptococcus suis bacterin are comprised in a single composition for administration to the pigs.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the IgM protease antigen of Streptococcus suis is an IgM protease of Streptococcus suis serotype 2.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises administering the IgM protease antigen of Streptococcus suis and the Streptococcus suis bacterin to the pigs at an age of at most 35 days.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises administering the IgM protease antigen of Streptococcus suis and the Streptococcus suis bacterin before an age at which the pigs are weaned.
6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the IgM protease antigen of Streptococcus suis is an IgM protease of Streptococcus suis serotype 2.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the method comprises administering the IgM protease antigen of Streptococcus suis and the Streptococcus suis bacterin to the pigs at an age of at most 35 days.
8. The method of claim 3 , wherein the method comprises administering the IgM protease antigen of Streptococcus suis and the Streptococcus suis bacterin to the pigs at an age of at most 35 days.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the method comprises administering the IgM protease antigen of Streptococcus suis and the Streptococcus suis bacterin before an age at which the pigs are weaned.
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the method comprises administering the IgM protease antigen of Streptococcus suis and the Streptococcus suis bacterin before an age at which the pigs are weaned.
11. The method of claim 6 , wherein the method comprises administering the IgM protease antigen of Streptococcus suis and the Streptococcus suis bacterin before an age at which the pigs are weaned.
12. The method of claim 4 , wherein the method comprises administering the IgM protease antigen of Streptococcus suis and the Streptococcus suis bacterin before an age at which the pigs are weaned.
13. The method of claim 3 , wherein the method comprises administering the IgM protease antigen of Streptococcus suis and the Streptococcus suis bacterin before an age at which the pigs are weaned.
14. The method of claim 2 , wherein the method comprises administering the IgM protease antigen of Streptococcus suis and the Streptococcus suis bacterin before an age at which the pigs are weaned.
