A case of hematogenous osteomyelitis due to a group C Streptococcus (Streptococcus equisimilis) is presented because of the unusual nature of the infecting organism. Group C streptococci are common pathogens in animals but are infrequent causes of human infections. Of therapeutic concern is the observation that these isolates are frequently penicillin-tolerant. For this reason, it is important to speciate beta-hemolytic streptococcal isolates and to perform antimicrobial susceptibility studies.
本文报告1例由C组链球菌（类马链球菌）引起的血源性骨髓炎病例，因其感染病原体的性质不同寻常。C组链球菌是动物常见病原体，但很少引起人类感染。值得关注的是，这些分离株往往对青霉素耐受。因此，对β溶血性链球菌分离株进行菌种鉴定并开展药敏试验很重要。
