Article Abstract
subspecies (SDSE) is an emerging pathogen in animals and humans. Herein, we describe two clinical swine cases of SDSE infection presenting with lameness, neurological signs, or sudden death. Pathological examination indicated suppurative arthritis, encephalitis, and multifocal abscesses in kidney and heart. The β-hemolytic colonies obtained from joint samples of each case were identified as SDSE. The two isolates had low minimum inhibitory concentrations for β-lactams, and they presented the same virulence gene profile (//pSTKP8). Molecular analysis by multilocus sequence typing identified the SDSE isolates from cases 1 and 2 as sequence types 315 and 252, respectively.

subspecies (SDSE) is a gram-positive bacterial pathogen capable of causing various infections in humans. Recently, isolates of SDSE type have emerged as a cause of severe invasive infections, including necrotizing myositis. However, the molecular processes underlying these infections remain poorly understood.

Objectives: We aimed to compare the clinical features in patients with streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) caused by the three β-hemolytic streptococci (BHS): Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae, and Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (SDSE).
Methods: Overall, 301 adult patients with STSS with S.

Introduction: Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (SDSE), a Gram-positive, beta-hemolytic group G Streptococcus, possesses virulence factors such as M protein, streptolysin O, streptolysin S, streptokinase, and hyaluronidase. This study reports a foodborne outbreak caused by SDSE infection recently occurred in China.
