Streptococcus canis is a group G beta-hemolytic species of Streptococcus. [1] It was first isolated in dogs, giving the bacterium its name. These bacteria are characteristically different from Streptococcus dysgalactiae , which is a human-specific group G species that has a different phenotypic chemical composition.
Among the bacteria associated with the syndrome are Streptococcus agalactiae and Streptococcus canis. [9] It is also associated with the parasite Toxocara canis [10] [11] and the viruses Canine herpesvirus and Canine parvovirus. [3]
The strains of Streptococcus, including S. canis, S. dysgalactiae subsp. dysgalactiae, S. equi subsp. zooepidemicus, S. suis, and mammalian S. agalactiae, maintained in domestic animals are widely distributed and their presence follows the hosts that they reside in. [20] Regional variations in the predominant serotypes of S. suis may impact ...
Streptococcus dysgalactiae is a gram positive, beta-haemolytic, coccal bacterium belonging to the family Streptococcaceae.It is capable of infecting both humans and animals, but is most frequently encountered as a commensal of the alimentary tract, genital tract, or less commonly, as a part of the skin flora.
Anaerobic gram-positive cocci that produce large amounts of lactic acid during the process of carbohydrate fermentation were reclassified as Streptococcus parvulus and Streptococcus morbillorum from Peptococcus or Peptostreptococcus. Most of these organisms are anaerobic, but some are microaerophilic. [citation needed]
