Between November 2021 and May 2022, there were 37 clinical cases of Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus infections in central Italy. Epidemiologic investigations and whole-genome sequencing revealed that unpasteurized fresh dairy products were the source of the outbreak. Early diagnosis using sequencing technology prevented the spread of life-threatening S. equi subsp. zooepidemicus infections.
