Streptococcus gallinaceus is a newly described species of viridans streptococci, previously only identified as causing disease in broiler chickens. This organism was recovered in pure culture from blood taken from a New Zealand abattoir worker presenting with a febrile illness. This first report of bacteraemia caused by S. gallinaceus in a human may help the understanding of the ecology of this recently described organism.
鸡源链球菌是一种新描述的草绿色链球菌，此前仅被认定可在肉鸡中引发疾病。从一名患有发热性疾病的新西兰屠宰场工人所采集的血液中，以纯培养方式分离出了这种微生物。这是关于鸡源链球菌导致人类菌血症的首例报告，可能有助于了解这种新描述微生物的生态情况。
