Molecular Characterization of Invasive Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis, Japan.
We collected β-hemolytic streptococci (1,611 isolates) from patients with invasive streptococcal infections in Japan during April 2010-March 2013. Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (SDSE) was most common (n = 693); 99% of patients with SDSE infections were elderly (mean age 75 years, SD ±15 years). We aimed to clarify molecular and epidemiologic characteristics of SDSE isolates and ...
متن کاملTwo unusual cases of severe soft tissue infection caused by Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis.
We present two cases of invasive infection caused by Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis, one that showed rapidly developing necrotizing fasciitis in a previously healthy man and one that showed severe cellulitis and septic shock even though the bacterium possessed a mutated emm gene, predicted to encode a truncated M protein.
متن کاملInfective endocarditis and infected aneurysm caused by Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis: a case report
Endocarditis caused by Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (SDSE) is rare. Infected aneurysm is one of the most serious complications of infective endocarditis. However, no reports have described SDSE-related infected aneurysm. We herein report a successfully treated case of SDSE-associated infective endocarditis with an infected aneurysm.
متن کاملHorizontal gene transfer and recombination in Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis
Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (SDSE) is a human pathogen that colonizes the skin or throat, and causes a range of diseases from relatively benign pharyngitis to potentially fatal invasive diseases. While not as virulent as the close relative Streptococcus pyogenes the two share a number of virulence factors and are known to coexist in a human host. Both pre- and post-genomic stu...
متن کاملStreptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis Bacteremia, Finland, 1995–2004
We conducted a retrospective population-based study of 140 episodes of Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis bacteremia occurring in Finland during 1995-2004. Rare emm types were associated with more severe disease and increased mortality rates. Skin and soft tissue infections were more frequent clinical signs among cases caused by common emm types.
