We describe group B Streptococcus linked to disease in farmed pigs and wild porcupines in Italy. Occurrence in pigs was attributed to transmission from nonpasteurized bovine milk whey. Antimicrobial-resistance profiles in isolates from porcupines suggest no common source of infection. Our findings expand the known host range for group B Streptococcus disease.

意大利猪和豪猪中出现 B 族链球菌病

我们描述了与意大利养殖猪和野生豪猪疾病相关的B 族链球菌。猪的发病归因于未经巴氏消毒的牛乳清的传播。豪猪分离株的抗菌素耐药性表明没有共同的感染源。我们的研究结果扩大了 B 族链球菌疾病的已知宿主范围。
