Beta-hemolytic  Streptococcus dysgalactiae  is a well-known pathogen for a wide range of animals and humans. Two subspecies are recognized: (i)  equisimilis , associated to disease in horses and humans, and (ii)  dysgalactiae  mainly isolated from animal illness with only a few humans’ cases. This study describes the isolation and characterization of  Streptococcus dysgalactiae  subsp.  dysgalactiae  (SDSD) from vampire bats, maintained in captivity for research proposes. Animals presented neurologic, respiratory and gastroenteric symptoms and sudden death. Beta-hemolytic Gram-positive cocci were isolated in blood agar plates and further characterized as Lancefield group C. All isolates were identified as  S .  dysgalactiae  by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry and subspecies  dysgalactiae  was confirmed by 16S rRNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. Genotyping through SE-ALFP resulted in three profiles (A1–A3) with one bat being infected by profiles A1 and A3. This is the first report of SDSD causing illness in bats and especially in  Desmodus rotundus  species.
