ABSTRACT
Human infection with Streptococcus canis is extremely rare. We describe herein a case of septicemia with cellulitis caused by S. canis in a 75-y-old woman, which developed 2 weeks after a dog bite. Macrorestriction analysis with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis demonstrated that the organism had been transmitted by means of a dog bite to her hand.
