“…The number of patients included in each study ranged from 1 to 23 patients (Table, Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/INF/F527). 5–8,12–53 Most of the included studies showed an overall good quality (Tables, Supplemental Digital Content 2, http://links.lww.com/INF/F528 and Supplemental Digital Content 3, http://links.lww.com/INF/F529). The main weaknesses included retrospective design and small sample size.…”

Background: Streptococcus gallolyticus subspecies pasteurianus (SGP), a subtype of Streptococcus bovis, is an uncommon but important cause of neonatal sepsis. Although uncommon, SGP infections during infancy have been associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Methods: This is a systematic review and meta-analysis of available literature on the clinical course and outcomes of infants with SGP infection. Studies were identified using the following MeSH keywords: “Streptococcus gallolyticus,” “Streptococcus bovis,” “newborn” and “infant.” Data including perinatal factors, clinical presentation, investigations, treatment and outcomes were extracted and analyzed. Results: A total of 46 articles were identified (116 cases: 60 S. bovis, 56 SGP). The cases were predominantly term (52%), male (57%) and born via vaginal delivery (67%). The most common symptom was fever [67% (95% confidence interval (CI): 43%–84%)], lethargy [66% (95% CI: 32%–89%)], tachypnea [59% (95% CI: 27%–85%)] and irritability [59% (95% CI: 34%–79%)]. Infants with early-onset infections (<3 days of life) were more likely to have respiratory symptoms and bacteremia (73%), whereas late-onset infections presented predominantly with gastrointestinal symptoms. Four mortalities were reported which occurred before antibiotic administration. Isolated bacteria were mostly penicillin-susceptible [95% (95% CI: 78–99%)] and cases treated with penicillin derivative had good recovery. Conclusions: SGP is an important cause of neonatal sepsis and meningitis. Penicillin derivative is an effective treatment for SGP, and outcomes appear to be favorable.

“…The studies included 34 case reports, 9 case series and 3 letters to the editor. There were 41 articles in English and 5 in other languages (3 Spanish, 12–14 1 French 15 and 1 Japanese 16 ). Majority (61%) of studies reviewed were from Asia, predominantly from Japan, Taiwan, Thailand and Singapore.…”

Streptococcus pasteurianus is a zoonotic pathogen causing meningitis and bacteremia in animals and humans. A lack of accurate and convenient detection methods hinders preventing and controlling diseases caused by S. pasteurianus. Additionally, there is limited knowledge about its pathogenicity and antimicrobial resistance characteristics, as there are only three complete genome sequences available. In this study, we established a multiplex PCR assay for the detection of S. pasteurianus, which was applied to six fecal samples from cattle with diarrhea and 285 samples from healthy pigs. Out of the samples tested, 24 were positive, including 5 from pig tonsils, 18 from pig hilar lymph nodes, and 1 from cattle feces. Two strains were isolated from positive samples, and their complete genomes were sequenced. The two strains were non-virulent in mice and multidrug-resistant by the antimicrobial susceptibility test. We first found the presence of genes tet(O/W/32/O) and lsa(E) in S. pasteurianus, leading to resistance to lincosamides and tetracyclines. The convenient and specific multiplex PCR assay provides essential technical support for epidemiological research, and the complete genome sequence of two non-virulent strains contributes to understanding this zoonotic bacterium’s genomic characteristics and pathogenesis.
