Streptococcus suis is a zoonotic pathogen which causes meningitis, arthritis and septicaemia in pigs, and rarely meningitis or septicaemia in humans. This organism has recently been isolated from pigs in New Zealand, where it appears to be widely distributed in pig herds. This case is the first report of human infection in New Zealand.
猪链球菌是一种人畜共患病原体,可导致猪的脑膜炎、关节炎和败血症,在人类中很少引起脑膜炎或败血症。最近在新西兰的猪身上分离出了这种病原体,它似乎在猪群中广泛分布。该病例是新西兰首例人类感染的报告。
