Streptococcus suis Meningitis in a French Cooker: Case Report and Review
Journal Title: Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Streptococcus suis is an emerging zoonotic pathogen, increasingly reported worldwide and especially in Asia. S. suis remains rare in France but is responsible for outbreaks in Asia, causing meningitis, septicemia, endocarditis, arthritis and septic shock. Transmission of S. suis to humans may occur by close contact with sick or healthy pigs. Deafness is a common and often permanent neurological sequella of S. suis meningitis. We report here a case of S. suis meningitis in a rench cooker specialized in pig meat diagnosed by 16S rNA PC performed from Cerebrospinal uid. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2016; 6(3): 136-139
