First Case of Streptococcus oligofermentans Endocarditis Determined Based on sodA Gene Sequences after Amplification Directly from Valvular Samples

Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: We report the first case of infection due to Streptococcus oligofermentans, which is a recently described oral Streptococcus species. It was responsible for the endocarditis and left forearm abscess of a 43-year-old woman. Identification was made using molecular techniques performed directly from valvular and surgical samples.
