draft genome sequence of streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis strain c161l1 isolated in vellore, india.	streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis belongs to the β-hemolytic group c and g pyogenic group of streptococci. here, we report the draft genome of the s. dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis strain c161l1 from vellore, a region in southern india with a high incidence rate of s. dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis infection. this genome is 2.1 mb long, with a 39.82% g+c content, and encodes 2,022 genes.	2017	28495783
acute bacterial meningitis and systemic abscesses due to streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis infection.	disseminated abscesses due to group g β-hemolytic streptococcus dysgalactiae were observed in a 57-year-old cirrhotic patient with the skin being the putative way of entry for the pathogen. s. dysgalactiae is a rare agent in human infections responsible for acute pyogenic meningitis. the mortality rate associated with s. dysgalactiae bacteraemia and meningitis may be as high as 50%, particularly in the presence of endocarditis or brain abscesses. in our patient, main sites of infections were men ...	2017	28512590
development of a multiplex pcr for identification of β-hemolytic streptococci relevant to human infections and serotype distribution of invasive streptococcus agalactiae in thailand.	a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mpcr) was developed for simultaneous detection (single reaction) of genes specific to five frequent clinically relevant β-hemolytic streptococcal species: streptococcus pyogenes (spy1258), streptococcus agalactiae (cfb and cpn60), streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (16s-23s intergenic spacer) , s. equi subsp. zooepidemicus (esaa and sord), and streptococcus anginosus group (moac). no cross-reaction was observed with other bacterial species. this ...	2017	28666619
multifocal septic arthritis, gluteal abscess and spondylodiscitis by streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis after an intramuscular injection.	we present the case of a 63-year-old man, admitted for hand cellulitis and acute kidney injury. a streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp equisimilis (sdse) was isolated in blood cultures and despite directed intravenous antibiotherapy, the patient evolved unfavourably, with dorsolumbar spondylodiscitis, multifocal septic arthritis and abscesses. ct also showed densification of the gluteal muscles, multiple air bubbles in the psoas, paraspinal muscles and spinal canal that were associated with an intra ...	2017	28724597
