Milk samples were collected from 180 heifers from 20 herds around parturition to study the prevalence and persistence of intramammary infection (IMI). A total of 3382 quarter milk samples was collected each week from 4 wk before parturition to 4 wk after parturition. Staphylococcus chromogenes, the most commonly found bacterial species before parturition, was isolated from 15% of all quarters. ...

Streptococcal disease and columnaris are common in tilapia aquaculture across the globe. Coinfections also but often overlooked or not reported. In present study, we describe clinical presentation of streptococcosis coinfection diseased Nile ( Oreochromis niloticus ), phenotypic (Lancefield grouping, hemolytic pattern, biochemical characteristics, antibiotic susceptibility) genotypic (multilocu...

Data from 274 Dutch herds recording clinical mastitis (CM) over an 18-month period were used to quantify the genetic variation for overall and pathogen-specific CM. Analysed pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus , coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS), Escherichia coli , Streptococcus dysgalactiae , Streptococcus uberis and other streptococci . The data set contained 47 563 lactations of 28 695...

Infection of the central nervous system by streptococci is known to result in severe bacterial meningitis, however some strains have low pathogenic potential and affect the brain only in immunocompromised patients. Here we report the first case of an otherwise healthy non immunocompromised young adult woman who developed meningitis caused by Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis. Th...

The risk of infective endocarditis in chronic hemodialysis patients is markedly higher than that in the general population. We report the first case of a hemodialysis patient with infective endocarditis caused by Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (SDSE) who presented with streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. In the last decade, there has been an increase in the incidence of SDSE infe...
