Abstract
We describe a case of septicemia due to Streptococcus canis in a 77-year-old man. The organism was presumably transmitted from a domestic animal. Ulcers of the lower limbs were the likely portals of entry. The differentiation between Streptococcus canis and Streptococcus dysgalactiae was based on biochemical properties and DNA macrorestriction analysis by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.Entities:
