Streptococcus mitis is a leading cause of infective endocarditis (IE). However, our
understanding of the genomic epidemiology and pathogenicity of IE-associated S. mitis is …

Streptococcus mitis is a common oral commensal and an opportunistic pathogen that
causes bacteremia and infective endocarditis; however, the species has received little …

Identification of Mitis group streptococci (MGS) to the species level is challenging for routine
microbiology laboratories. Correct identification is crucial for the diagnosis of infective …

The aim of our study was to investigate phenotypic and genotypic features of streptococci
misidentified (misID) as Streptococcus pneumoniae, obtained over 20 years from hospital …

Distinuishing the species of mitis group streptococci is challenging due to ambiguous
phenotypic characteristics and high degree of genetic similarity. This has been particularly …

Epidemiological data have indicated that invasive infections caused by the Gram-positive
cocci Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus, GAS) have increased in many …

Streptococcus pseudopneumoniae is a close relative of the major human pathogen S.
pneumoniae. While initially considered as a commensal species, it has been increasingly …

Infective endocarditis remains an important clinical entity with an incidence of 1.7–10/100
000 person years (Marks et al, 2015). Despite improvements in health care, it still results in …

Abstract The Danish National Partial Oral Treatment of Endocarditis Trial (POET)
demonstrated non-inferiority of partly peroral compared to intravenous antibiotic therapy for …

The article does not describe the patient's recent travel history. In cases of S. sinensis, the
travel history is important in determining the possible geographical reservoirs for this agent …
