Contagious streptococcal lymphadenitis in cats

M M Swindle, O Narayan, M Luzarraga

    Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association
    |November 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    A novel Lancefield group G beta-hemolytic streptococcus caused sepsis and lymphadenitis in laboratory cats. The bacteria spread orally and could be experimentally transmitted via oral and subcutaneous routes.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Microbiology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Bacterial infections can cause significant morbidity and mortality in animal populations.
    • Beta-hemolytic streptococci are known pathogens with varying host specificities.

    Observation:

    • A group of laboratory cats presented with acute lymphadenitis affecting the head and neck.
    • Cats exhibited systemic signs indicative of sepsis.

    Findings:

    • Lancefield group G beta-hemolytic streptococcus was identified as the causative agent.
    • Experimental inoculation confirmed oral and subcutaneous routes of transmission.
    • The bacteria induced lymphadenitis and sepsis in susceptible feline hosts.

    Implications:

    • This finding highlights a potential zoonotic risk and the need for enhanced biosecurity measures in laboratory animal facilities.
    • Understanding transmission routes is crucial for effective disease prevention and control strategies in feline populations.
    • Further research into the pathogenicity of this specific streptococcal strain is warranted.
