Streptococcus suis ( S. suis ), a group of heterogeneous species with thirty-five serotypes, is considered a previ - ously-neglected but recently-emerging human pathogen. Lack of full understanding of molecular mechanism by which this group of pathogenic bacteria infects both swine and humans greatly hampered the availability of specific/effective therapeutics against severe S. suis infections. The release of the first genomic sequence of S. suis announced the ar - rival of its “Omics-Era”. This review concentrates on recent highlights of S. suis studies in aspects of Omics. Also, we discussed remaining research gaps and future perspectives.
