DESCRIPTION:More pig meat is eaten globally than any other meat\, and Stre
 ptococcus suis is a leading cause of entrenched endemic disease in pigs an
 d a major driver of antibiotics use in this species around the world. In a
 ddition the pathogen presents a zoonotic threat in some regions\, notably 
 in Asia. This talk attempts to link key practical clinical questions with 
 advances in research recently completed or ongoing in Cambridge\, notably 
 based on genomic analysis of what is believed to be the largest clinically
  phenotype collection of S. suis in the world. The question of how to harn
 ess genomic research to underpin real-life clinical outcomes for everyday 
 pathogens is of broader relevance and this talk sets out to offer some ins
 ights into that wider question.
