Invasive infection with Streptococcus iniae in Taiwan
J Med Microbiol.
2007 Sep.
Abstract
Streptococcus iniae, a common fish pathogen, rarely infects humans. In this report, a case of invasive S. iniae infection in a 51-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus and hepatitis C-related liver cirrhosis is described. The isolate was identified by 16S rDNA sequencing. The patient recovered after 1 week of treatment with ampicillin.
