This is the first case report to describe the direct transmission of Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus from an infected dog to a handler who subsequently developed severe systemic infection. Characterisation of the haemolytic streptococci isolated from both patients, by phenotypic and molecular analysis, confirmed the canine and human isolates were identical.
