This is a case study on epidemiological factor clinical spectrum and drug susceptibility of a rare zoonotic infection caused by Streptococcus sui in a 60 year female patient. Presented with fever and altered sensorium. Blood culture analysis revealed the causative agent to be Streptococcus sui. Antibiotic sensitivity screening of the culture was also performed. So while recording the case history it was noted that the patient was in close contact with pigs on regular basis. The patient was treated with ceftriaxone antibiotic and responded favorably to the therapy. We represent the first human case of Streptococcus sui from Goa.
