Group G streptococci (GGS) are beta-haemolytic, and can be found as commensal on skin and mucous membranes. Several articles describe an increased incidence of invasive GGS infections, in majority among older men with co-morbidities. We describe a rare case of invasive post-partum infection, most likely nosocomial transmission since the infected patient shared bath and toilet facilities with the index patient for one day during admission. Subtype stG643 was found in both cases.

This study is reporting an outbreak of subclinical mastitis due to beta-hemolytic group L streptococci in an Austrian dairy herd with a history of high somatic cell count. At the first survey 16 of 33 lactating cows (28 quarters of 132) were cultured positive for beta-hemolytic, CAMP and esculin negative cocci that grew on Columbia blood agar with small grey catalase negative colonies. With the commercial API 20 Strep system (bioMerieux, F) isolates were classified as members of streptococci group L.

Group B beta-haemolytic streptococci (GBS) are the most common cause of serious bacterial infection in the neonate. Neonatal GBS sepsis is divided into early onset (1st- 6th day) and late onset (LO) (after 6th day of life). The incidence of both is increased in premature infants and infants with a low birth weight.
