AI Article Synopsis
- Research in Italy has found group B Streptococcus causing illness in both farmed pigs and wild porcupines.
- In pigs, the infection is likely due to transmission from nonpasteurized bovine milk whey.
- The study reveals that porcupines have a different source of infection, highlighting the diverse host range for this bacterium.
Article Abstract
We describe group B Streptococcus linked to disease in farmed pigs and wild porcupines in Italy. Occurrence in pigs was attributed to transmission from nonpasteurized bovine milk whey. Antimicrobial-resistance profiles in isolates from porcupines suggest no common source of infection. Our findings expand the known host range for group B Streptococcus disease.
