Abstract

ABSTRACT Streptococcus bovis is an uncommon cause of infection in neonates. However, S . bovis is capable of causing fulminant neonatal sepsis or meningitis that is indistinguishable clinically from that caused by group B streptococcus. S . bovis and S . bovis variant (sometimes referred to as S . bovis biotypes I and II, respectively) are phenotypically similar but may be differentiated by expanded testing. In adults, specific associations between disease states and different biotypes of S . bovis are apparent. No data exist on possible differences or clinical relevance of neonatal infection caused by different biotypes or newer species of S . bovis . We report a 3-day-old neonate with bacteremia and meningitis caused by S . bovis variant ( S . bovis biotype II/2) and review the literature.
