Streptococcus strains from animal and human sources identified biochemically as Streptococcus porcinus were investigated by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The nine human strains isolated between 1997 and 2005 formed a single cluster with more than 2.1% dissimilarity with S. porcinus strains from animal sources. A novel species, Streptococcus pseudoporcinus sp. nov., is proposed.

Article Synopsis
- - A 59-year-old woman developed severe eye issues (iritis and uveitis) about three weeks post eyelid surgery, leading to a diagnosis of acute exogenous endophthalmitis.
- - She underwent procedures such as vitreous aspiration and a vitrectomy, which identified the infection as caused by Streptococcus pseudoporcinus; her vision improved but was still significantly impaired due to a macular hole.
- - The case highlights the need for surgeons to take precautions during eyelid surgery to prevent complications and stresses the importance of evaluating any postoperative vision loss.
