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
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
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
prevalence of complement-mediated cell lysis-like gene (sicg) in streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis isolates from japan (2014-2016).	streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (sdse; a β-hemolytic streptococcus of human or animal origin) infections are emerging worldwide. we evaluated the clonal distribution of complement-mediated cell lysis-like gene (sicg) among sdse isolates from three central prefectures of japan.	2017	28445008
