Certain strains of Streptococcus suis serotype 2, a major pathogen found in the upper respiratory tract of swine have been shown to produce Bacreiocin-Like Inhibitory Substance (BLIS). BLIS-producing strains were reported to inhibit the growth of Actinobacillus minor, Actinobacillus porcinus, Enterococcus durans, Micrococcus luteus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. dysgalactiae, Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus, and S. dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (Melancon and Grenier, 2003).
