Comparison of the fibronectin-binding protein FNE from Streptococcus equi subspecies equi with FNZ from S. equi subspecies zooepidemicus reveals a major and conserved difference.
The gene fnz from Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus encodes a cell surface protein that binds fibronectin (Fn). Fifty tested isolates of S. equi subspecies equi all contain DNA sequences with similarity to fnz. This work describes the cloning and sequencing of a gene, designated fne, with similarity to fnz from two S. equi subspecies equi isolates. The DNA sequences were found to be i...
متن کاملStreptococcus zooepidemicus and Streptococcus equi evolution: the role of CRISPRs.
The host-restricted bacterium Streptococcus equi is the causative agent of equine strangles, the most frequently diagnosed infectious disease of horses worldwide. The disease is characterized by abscessation of the lymph nodes of the head and neck, leading to significant welfare and economic cost. S. equi is believed to have evolved from an ancestral strain of Streptococcus zooepidemicus, an op...
متن کاملOutbreak and control of haemorrhagic pneumonia due to Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus in dogs.
NECROTISING haemorrhagic pneumonia due to infection with Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus has been described in dogs (Garnett and others 1982, Chalker and others 2003). The severity of pulmonary disease in a population of kennelled dogs with endemic infectious respiratory diseases has been correlated with the presence of S equi subspecies zooepidemicus. The pathogen has also been iso...
متن کاملAn outbreak of Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus associated with consumption of fresh goat cheese
BACKGROUND Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus is a rare infection in humans associated with contact with horses or consumption of unpasteurized milk products. On October 23, 2003, the National Public Health Institute was alerted that within one week three persons had been admitted to Tampere University Central Hospital (TaYS) because of S. equi subsp. zooepidemicus septicaemia. All had...
متن کاملTransmission of Streptococcus equi Subspecies zooepidemicus Infection from Horses to Humans
Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus (S. zooepidemicus) is a zoonotic pathogen for persons in contact with horses. In horses, S. zooepidemicus is an opportunistic pathogen, but human infections associated with S. zooepidemicus are often severe. Within 6 months in 2011, 3 unrelated cases of severe, disseminated S. zooepidemicus infection occurred in men working with horses in eastern Finl...
