Most cases to date have been caused by \u03b2\u2010haemolytic streptococci of Lancefield groups A, B, C or G. Necrotising fasciitis has been reported only twice in cats and necrotising myositis has never been described. This paper describes a fatal case of necrotising fasciitis and myositis with pneumonia and septicaemia in a nine\u2010year\u2010old cat. The cat had been undergoing treatment for a suspected tear of the cranial cruciate ligament, but on the seventh day of treatment it suddenly deteriorated and died. On postmortem examination, there was an area of hair loss from its left hindlimb and discoloration of the underlying fascia and biceps femoris muscle. Severe necrotising fasciitis and myositis, with numerous intralesional Gram\u2010positive coccoid bacteria, was diagnosed histologically. Other findings included necrotising pneumonia, pleuritis, focal encephalitis, myocarditis and nephritis. Culture of the affected tissues yielded a pure, heavy growth of\n                    <jats:italic>Streptococcus canis<\/jats:italic>\n                    .\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/vr.162.14.450","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,10,5]],"date-time":"2010-10-05T17:36:25Z","timestamp":1286300185000},"page":"450-453","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Fatal necrotising fasciitis and myositis in a cat associated with Streptococcus canis"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"162","author":[{"given":"R.","family":"Sura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathobiology and Veterinary Science University of Connecticut 61\u00a0North Eagleville Road Storrs CT 06269\u20103089 USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L.
