Post-operative ocular infection due to Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis.
Ocular infections due to Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis are rare. In the present report, three patients with a history of uncomplicated small incision cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation developed exogenous endophthalmitis due to Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis. The identification of the organisms was confirmed by PCR for a 16S rRNA sequence specific...
متن کاملSpondylodiscitis Caused by Streptococcus dysgalactiae Subspecies Equisimilis: A Case Report of an Increasingly Recognized Pathogenic Organism
Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis (SDSE) is a β-hemolytic Streptococcus that possesses genetic and clinical similarities to Streptococcus pyogenes. It is increasingly recognized as the etiological microorganism of invasive diseases. We report a case of a 74-year-old male who was admitted to this hospital with lower back and neck pain and infected with leg ulcer. The diagnosis of...
متن کاملHuman infections due to Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis.
Human streptococci that belong to Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis (SDSE) have long been known under the name of beta-hemolytic groups C and G streptococci. Extensive taxonomic studies during the past years have distinguished most of the veterinary pathogens belonging to Lancefield groups C and G from those of human origin. After being considered nonpathogenic for many years, S...
متن کاملSystemic Streptococcus dysgalactiae Subspecies equisimilis Infection in a Yorkshire Pig with Severe Disseminated Suppurative Meningoencephalomyelitis
An 18-week-old female breeding Yorkshire pig displayed symptoms of astasia and subsequently died. Histologically, severe disseminated suppurative meningoencephalomyelitis was detected, as were numerous myocardial microabscesses. Gram-positive cocci were detected in these suppurative lesions, and these cocci reacted with an antibody against Streptococcus C group species. Gram-positive cocci were...
متن کاملFatal necrotizing myositis from fulminant Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis (SDSE) infection: A case report of autopsy images
Over the past few decades, Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis (SDSE) have been considered as weak pathogenicity compared with S. pyogenes (GAS). Some recent reports argue that SDSE may bring severe soft tissue infection as same as GAS. No reports have been tried to reveal the clinical characteristics and autopsy images of fulminant SDSE infection. In this case report, we aimed to...
