“…The only other recorded outbreak caused by this type was in Romania where some throat infections were associated with subsequent cases of nephritis (Mihalcu et al, 1982). Phage-typing, DNA fingerprinting (Skjold et al, 1987) (Gaunt and Seal, 1986) may well be the result of improved identification procedures for streptococci now more generally available.…”

“…Serious diseases caused by these organisms include septicaemia (Finch and Aveline, 1984), endocarditis (Goldberg et al, 1985), septic arthritis (Gaunt and Seal, 1986), pneumonia (Stamm and Cobbs, 1980), meningitis (Devi6re et al, 1986), Cellulitis (Gaunt and Seal, 1987) and erysipelas (Hugo-Persson and Norlin, 1987). They have also been the presumptive cause of hospital and institutional outbreaks (Hill et al, 1969;McCue, 1982;Stryker et al, 1982;Cohen et al, 1987;Haynes et al, 1987;Teare et al, in press).…”

Summary. Within a collection of 749 strains of group C streptococci (Streptococcus equisimilis) and 2348 of group G, isolated over a period of 6 years, there were clusters from 63 probable outbreaks of infection. These occurred in burns and maternity units, hospital wards, outpatient clinics, army camps and religious communities. Overall, it was possible to identify T-protein antigens in 88% of the group C strains and in 82% of group G. Serotyping by the identification of T-protein antigens was a useful method for the subdivision of these strains.

“…In general the treatment outcomes are excellent for all surgical strategies for Streptococcal arthroplasty infection [54][55][56][57][58]. However, the outcomes with group B streptococcal infections are mixed with some studies reporting poorer outcomes with these isolates [58][59][60].…”

“…Однако анализ случаев ПСА показывает, что он с одинаковой частотой встречается и у взрослых, и в детско-юношеском возрасте. Также имеются работы, авторы которых описывают развитие артрита после инфекции, вызванной стрептококками групп G и С [20,28]. T.L.Jansen с соавт.…”

“…Многие из них являются условно-патогенными, пред ставляя собой нормальную флору полости рта, носоглотки, желудочно-кишечного тракта, влагалища [16], и вызывают оппортунистические инфекции в иммунноскомпрометиро-ванном хозяине. Они способны продуцировать стрептоки-назу и стрептолизин О, неотличимые от вырабатываемых СГА [20]. Повышение титров АСЛ-0 часто регистрируется при заболеваниях, вызываемых этими микроорганизмами, и может приводить к ошибкам при поиске этиологии фа-рингиальной инфекции [21,39], особенно в тех случаях, когда они оказываются чувствительными к бацитрацину.…”
