The authors report a case of septic arthritis of the shoulder-joint due to group B beta-hemolytic Streptococci (Streptococcus agalactiae) in a 63-year-old female patient. These germs are a major cause of meningitis and septicemia in newborns and pregnant women. In adults, men and nonpregnant women, they have been a rare cause of septic arthritis.
