这项为期5年的回顾性研究报告了54例由犬链球菌引起的感染患者，犬链球菌是一种化脓性兰斯菲尔德G组链球菌，最初分离自各种动物来源。在1997-2002年期间，犬链球菌占所有分离的链球菌的1%。回顾性分析其临床表现、转归及细菌学特征。所有.除了八个有症状临床表现为：软组织感染35例，菌血症5例，泌尿系感染3例，骨感染2例，肺炎1例。52例患者的病程良好，2例死于败血症。除血培养外，培养物通常为多种微生物（n = 42，77.8%）。分离株对大多数抗生素敏感。由于可能发生定植，细菌的存在并不总是意味着感染。S.犬感染是罕见的，并且可能被低估，这是由于链球菌仅根据兰斯菲尔德分类来寻找。寻找S。当患者出现暴露于潜在污染动物的症状时，建议使用犬。(c)2007年，英国传染病协会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
This 5-year retrospective study reports 54 patients with infection, caused by Streptococcus canis, a pyogenic Lancefield group G streptococcus initially isolated from various animal sources. During 1997-2002, Streptococcus canis accounted for 1% of all streptococci isolated. The clinical signs, outcome and bacteriological characteristics were reviewed. All. except eight were symptomatic. Clinical manifestations were: soft tissue infection (n = 35), bacteremia (n = 5), urinary infection (n = 3), bone infection (n = 2) and pneumonia (n = 1). The course was favorable in 52 cases while two died from sepsis. Cultures were often polymicrobial (n = 42, 77.8%) apart from hemocultures. The isolates were sensitive to most antibiotics. Presence of the bacteria did not always signify infection owing to the possible occurrence of colonization. The frequency of S. canis infections is rare and likely underestimated owing to the fact that streptococci are sought only on the basis of the Lancefield classification. The search for S. canis is recommended whenever patients present with symptoms evocative of exposure to a potentially contaminated animal. (c) 2007 The British Infection Society.
