Group R streptococci: wild boars as a second reservoir

G Bonmarchand et al. Scand J Infect Dis. 1985.

Abstract

Group R streptococci have caused many cases of septicaemia and meningitis in patients handling live or slaughtered pigs which were the only known reservoir of group R streptococci. A human case, due to a wild boar, is reported here and it is therefore concluded that there exist both a domestic (pig) and a wild (wild boar) reservoir of group R streptococci.
