Streptococcus equisimilis is a species of Streptococcus, initially described by Frost in 1936.[1] As a result of several DNA hybridization studies in 1983, the species was merged into Streptococcus dysgalactiae.[2] Subsequently, S.dysgalactiae was divided into the subspecies Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis and Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies dysgalactiae.[3] Although the name Streptococcus equisimilis is no longer valid, it is still encountered both in clinical practice, and in scientific journals.[4]
