Case Report: Chorioamnionitis Attributed to Streptococcus thoraltensis.
Streptococcus thoraltensis is a recently described species, isolated from the intestinal and genital tracts of swine and from rabbit feces. We describe here a case of chorioamnionitis, with paternal swine exposure, potentially attributable to S. thoraltensis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported human infection by this organism.
