Abstract

ABSTRACT Group C streptococci have been reported to cause invasive disease similar to that classically associated with group A streptococcus (GAS). We describe a fatal case of toxic shock-like syndrome due to Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus . The causative organism did not possess any known GAS superantigen exotoxin genes but did show evidence of superantigen production.
