What is Infections Caused by Group C and G Streptococcus ( Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis and Others): Epidemiological and Clinical Aspects about?

## ABSTRACT Streptococci carrying serogroup C and G antigens, and in particular,__Streptococcus dysgalactiae__subsp.__equisimilis__(SDSE), are emerging human pathogens that are increasingly isolated from patients with a myriad of infections that range from mundane to life-threatening. SDSE is microbiologically similar to__Streptococcus pyogenes__. These streptococci frequently cause infections of the throat and skin and soft tissues. Moreover, they may invade the bloodstream and disseminate widely to many deep tissue sites, including the endocardium. Life-threatening invasive infections due to SDSE, including the streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, occur most frequently in patients with severe underlying medical diseases. Treatment with penicillin is adequate under most circumstances, but treatment failure occurs. SDSE may also be resistant to other antibiotic classes including tetracyclines, macrolides, and clindamycin. Most human infections caused by groups C and G streptococci are transmitted from person to person, but infections due to__Streptococcus equi__subsp.__zooepidemicus__(and, rarely, to__S. equi__subsp.__equi__) are zoonoses. Transmission of these latter species occurs
