据报道，C群链球菌可引起与A群链球菌（GAS）相似的侵袭性疾病。我们描述了一个致命的病例中毒性休克样综合征由于马链球菌亚种。zooepidemicus。致病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。
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.
