Group C streptococci have been reported to cause invasive disease similar to that classically associated with group A streptococcus (GAS). We describe a fatal case of toxic shock-like syndrome due to Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus. The causative organism did not possess any known GAS superantigen exotoxin genes but did show evidence of superantigen production.
据报道,C 组链球菌可引起与 A 组链球菌(GAS)经典相关的侵袭性疾病。我们描述了一例由马链球菌兽疫亚种引起的中毒性休克样综合征致死病例。致病微生物不具有任何已知的 GAS 超抗原外毒素基因,但确实显示出超抗原产生的证据。
