Abstract Streptococcus equinus is a non-enterococcal group D Streptococcus, Gram positive, non- hemolytic, lactic acid bacterium. The incidence of colonization in humans increases rural areas, where there high risk exposure to animal feces and fermented food products. It associated with specific diseases, such as osteoarticular infections, meningitis, biliary infective endocarditis colorectal cancer. A male 10-year-old patient, asymptomatic, without underlying medical conditions, was referred for routine check-up at the Outpatient Pediatric Clinic Nikea General Hospital, Piraeus, Greece. According patient history, he had spent two weeks summer camp, direct contact horses, horse riding, feeding, watering, care, etc. His brother, although same contacts activities, did not present an infection. Examinations eyes, mouth, ears, nose, throat abdomen were normal. Laboratory tests showed mild leukocytosis (12,000/mm3, 80% neutrophils) slightly increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (30 mm/h).Urinalysis microscopy revealed bacteriuria by nitrite test pyuria, so urine cultures performed (Multistix 10 SG Reagent Strips, Siemens Healthineers). culture grew monomicrobial S. 105 CFU/ml. bacterium identified RapIDTM REMEL ONE identification system (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Antimicrobial susceptibility testing resistance Clindamycin, Tetracycline, Cefotaxime Erythromycin. received treatment has been isolated from bowel approximately 7% general population. Urinary tract infections are less common. Risk factors human considered living areas having feces. during his stay probably relevant activities therefore infected.

Background Equine Coronavirus (ECoV) can cause gastrointestinal disease and was first described in 2000 the USA followed by several international outbreak case reports. Disease manifestation is characterised vague clinical signs, including mild pyrexia, lethargy anorexia. Morbidity ranges greatly from 10% to 83%. Although uncommon, ECoV may result death secondary disruption barrier causing endotoxaemia hyperammonaemic encephalopathy. Unfortunately date, there no vaccine available prevent ECoV. Case reports Three faecal quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)‐positive cases are that presented with severe colic signs: a 2‐year‐old Miniature Pony gelding South Australia, an 8‐year‐old Arabian Riding gelding, 6‐year‐old Warmblood mare, both Western Australia. The diagnosis based on positive qPCR, which currently gold standard diagnostic tool. All horses this series survived after medical management. anorexia signs. On day 5, pony revealed signs unresponsive analgesia along abdominal distension caecal requiring surgical intervention. Conclusion To authors' knowledge, published report of it adds description differential list
