Clinical and microbiological features of bacteremia with Streptococcus equi
(2017) In Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease 87(2). p.196-198- Abstract
Streptococcus equi (SE) rarely causes human infections. We identified 18 SE isolates from blood cultures. The focus of infection was unknown (n = 5), arthritis (n = 3), catheter-related (n = 2), pneumonia (n = 2), or other (n = 6). There were no fatalities. Several patients had animal contacts but there were no indications of clonal outbreaks.
