Abstract: Grampostive bacterium, identificated with Streptococcus suis serotype 2 by Rapid ID 32 Strep reagent of Streptococcus suis, was isolated in Guangxi. PCR assays were performed for detection of cps2J and three virulence factors, muramidaserelseased protein(MRP), extracelluar factor (EF) and suilysin gene(SLY) of Streptococcus suis. The sequence analysis revealed 98.8% homology to that of cps2J in GenBank. Virulence factors of Streptococcus suis serotype 2 were sly+mrp+ef+, which indicated that the cause of acute death of pigs was highvirulence Streptococcus suis serotype 2 in the pig farm. It was showed that determined bacteria caused infected rats death and leaded to infected rabbits showing temperature hoist to 40.3 ℃ and death due to blood poisoning. 

Key words: Streptococcus suis serotype 2; isolation and identification; virulence factors; PCR
