Méningite à Streptococcus suis

Revue de biologie médicale, 2022
Streptococcus suis est une bactérie au double visage, à la fois commensale des amydgales et du nasopharynx du cochon, et pouvant être à l’origine d’infections sévères dans les porcheries industrielles, avec des répercussions économiques conséquentes pour les éleveurs. Le sanglier est aussi un réservoir naturel de S. suis.

Streptococcus Suis: Past and Present

Veterinary Research Communications, 1997
Steptococcus suis is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic coccus that has been implicated as the cause of a wide range of clinical disease syndromes in swine and other domestic animals. In swine, the disease has spread worldwide but is more prevalent in countries with intensive swine management practices. The disease syndromes caused by S.

Streptococcus suis in Hong Kong

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2007
Streptococcus suis was isolated from 6.1% of raw pork meat from 3 of the 6 wet markets in 6 districts in Hong Kong. S. suis was particularly isolated in sites from the tongue, tonsil, bone, and tail, but not from lean meat/minced pork or internal organs. Isolates were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction using S. suis-specific primers, did not belong

Streptococcus suis Meningitis, a Poacher's Risk

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infections Diseases, 2000
Streptococcus suis infection is a zoonosis that has been mainly reported in pig-rearing and pork-consuming countries. The most common disease manifestation is meningitis, often associated with cochleovestibular signs. The causative agent is Streptococcus suis serotype 2, found as a commensal in the tonsils of its natural host, the pig.

Streptococcus suis Meningitis

Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1992
Meningitis caused by Streptococcus suis type 2, a rare disease first recognized in 1968 (108 cases worldwide in 1989), is contracted by occupational exposure to pigs and often results in very severe disabilities (definitive deafness and ataxia in 50% of cases). We report the case of an employee in a rendering plant whose initial symptom was deafness. A

Streptococcus suis meningitis.

2013
Abstract This chapter first reviews the epidemiology of Streptococcus suis infections in humans and pigs, then describes the pathogenesis and clinical course of S. suis meningitis in humans, the role of bacteraemia in S. suis invasion of the central nervous system, and the inflammatory processes involved in S. suis meningitis.

Virulence Mechanisms of Streptococcus suis

1997
Streptococcus suis is a common and widespread swine pathogen which also infects other species including man, causing cases of septicaemia, bronchopneumonia, arthritis and meningitis. Capsular type 2 is the most significant cause of disease in the U.K. and both virulent and avirulent strains have been isolated.

Streptococcus suis bacteraemia.

The New Zealand medical journal, 1988
Streptococcus suis is a zoonotic pathogen which causes meningitis, arthritis and septicaemia in pigs, and rarely meningitis or septicaemia in humans. This organism has recently been isolated from pigs in New Zealand, where it appears to be widely distributed in pig herds. This case is the first report of human infection in New Zealand.

Identification and characterization of Streptococcus suis

Veterinary Microbiology, 1986
A total of 188 Streptococcus suis strains isolated from pigs with various lesions, mainly bronchopneumonia, were identified using classical biochemical methods and using the API 20 STREP system. The serological classification was performed by precipitation reactions after Lancefield extraction, slide-coagglutinations and capsular reaction tests.

Streptococcus suis meningitis in the Netherlands

Journal of Infection, 2008
We present four patients with Streptococcus suis meningitis identified during a 3.5-year prospective surveillance study in the Netherlands. All cases were associated with exposure to pigs. Patients presented with classic symptoms and signs of bacterial meningitis. Outcome was characterized by severe hearing loss.
