Streptococcus parasanguinis: new pathogen associated with asymptomatic mastitis in sheep
Investigation published in Emerging Infectious Diseases
October 1st, 1998
We describe two unusual cases in sheep of subclinical mastitis caused by Streptococcus parasanguinis. This bacterium has been associated with the development of experimental endocarditis; its presence at relatively high concentrations in apparently healthy sheep milk may pose a health risk in persons with predisposing heart lesions
