Abstract

We describe a case of meningitis due to Streptococcus suis with the unusual ST3 genotype. The bacterial pathogen was isolated from blood samples. S. suis genotype ST3 was initially isolated from carrier pigs, but it has not been previously associated with invasive human infections. The patient developed serious endogenous bilateral endophthalmitis which resulted in severe visual deficiency.
