Molecular Detection of Avian Influenza Virus from Sediment Samples in Waterfowl Habitats on the Delmarva Peninsula, United States
SUMMARY Streptococcus gallolyticus, previously known as Streptococcus bovis biotypes I and II/2, is a well-known cause of sepsis and meningitis in humans and birds. The present case report describes an outbreak of fatal septicemia associated with S. gallolyticus subsp. pasteurianus (S. bovis biotype II/2) in 11 turkey flocks in Pennsylvania between 2010 and 2013. Affected poults were 2–3 wk of age. Major clinical observation was sudden increase in mortality among turkey poults without any premonitory clinical signs. Postmortem examination findings revealed acute septicemia with lesions such as fibrinous pericarditis, meningitis, splenic multifocal fibrinoid necrosis, hepatitis, osteochondritis, myositis, and airsacculitis. Gram-positive cocci were isolated from several organs by routine bacterial culture. Biotyping identified bacteria as streptococci, whereas 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing identified them as S. gallolyticus subsp. pasteurianus. Antibiotic susceptibility profiles revealed that all the strains isolated were sensitive to penicillin and erythromycin with different sensitivity profiles for other antibacterial agents tested. The present study reports the first confirmed case of acute septicemia in turkey poults caused by S. gallolyticus subsp. pasteurianus.

Streptococcus gallolyticus, anteriormente conocido como Streptococcus bovis biotipos I y II/2, es una causa muy conocida de sepsis y meningitis en los seres humanos y aves. El presente reporte de caso describe un brote de septicemia fatal asociada con S. gallolyticus subsp. pasteurianus (S. bovis biotipo II/2) en 11 lotes de pavos en Pennsylvania entre los años 2010 y 2013. Los pavos afectados tenían entre 2 a 3 semanas de edad. La principal observación clínica fue el repentino incremento en la mortalidad entre los pavos jóvenes sin signos clínicos sugestivos. Los hallazgos durante el examen postmortem revelaron septicemia aguda con lesiones tales como pericarditis fibrinosa, meningitis, necrosis esplénica fibrinoide multifocal, hepatitis, osteocondritis, miositis y aerosaculitis. Se aislaron cocos gram positivos de varios órganos mediante el cultivo bacteriano de rutina. La biotipificación identificó a las bacterias como estreptococos, mientras que la secuenciación del gene de ARN ribosomal 16S las identificó como S. gallolyticus subsp. pasteurianus. Los perfiles de susceptibilidad a los antibióticos revelaron que todas las cepas aisladas eran sensibles a la penicilina y a la eritromicina con diferentes perfiles de sensibilidad para otros agentes antibacterianos ensayados. El presente estudio reporta el primer caso confirmado de septicemia aguda en pavipollos causado por S. gallolyticus subsp. pasteurianus.
