“…The infection occurs by eating unpasteurized dairy products, cheese, pork meat or direct contact with horses. The clinical forms described thus far include meningitis, septic arthritis, endocarditis, glomerulonephritis, streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, pneumonia, pharyngitis, lymphadenitis, osteomyelitis, rheumatic fever, and skin and soft tissue infections [68,84,90,91]. Table 6 presents details of selected cases of SEZ infections in humans.…”

Bacteria of the genus Streptococcus , earlier considered typically animal, currently have also been causing infections in humans. It is necessary to make clinicians aware of the emergence of new species that may cause the development of human diseases. There is an increasing frequency of isolation of streptococci such as S. suis , S. dysgalactiae , S. iniae and S. equi from people. Isolation of Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus complex bacteria has also been reported. The streptococcal species described in this review are gaining new properties and virulence factors by which they can thrive in new environments. It shows the potential of these bacteria to changes in the genome and the settlement of new hosts. Information is presented on clinical cases that concern streptococcus species belonging to the groups Bovis, Pyogenic and Suis. We also present the antibiotic resistance profiles of these bacteria. The emerging resistance to β-lactams has been reported. In this review, the classification, clinical characteristics and antibiotic resistance of groups and species of streptococci considered as animal pathogens are summarized.
