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.

Unlabelled: subspecies (SDSE) is a Gram-positive bacterial pathogen that infects humans and is closely related to group A streptococcus (GAS). Compared with GAS, far less is known about SDSE pathobiology. Increased rates of invasive SDSE infections have recently been reported in many countries.

Background: Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis (SDSE) is increasingly recognized as an emerging cause of invasive diseases including necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs). In contrast to the closely related Streptococcus pyogenes, SDSE infections mainly affect older and comorbid patients. Biofilm formation has been demonstrated in soft tissue biopsies of S.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the rising incidence of invasive Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (iSDSE) infections in developed countries and identifies key risk factors for mortality in affected adults.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 588 patients, finding a 10.4% overall mortality rate, significantly higher in patients aged 60 and over, and even higher (70.4%) in those with severe disease compared to 4.3% in mild cases.
- - Key predictors for mortality included older age, severity of disease, presence of bacteremia, elevated serum creatinine and creatine kinase levels, and macrolide resistance, highlighting the importance of assessing clinical symptoms and biomarkers upon admission for better prognosis
