Le Bonheur Children's Hospital, Heart Institute, Memphis, Tennessee, USA.
A 2-year-old boy with a hemodynamically insignificant ventricular septal defect was found to have polyvalvular endocarditis, eventually requiring replacement of the pulmonary and mitral valves with a pulmonary conduit and a mechanical valve. Cultures grew , listed on the microbiological criterion of the updated Duke International Society for Cardiovascular Infectious Diseases criteria.

Article Synopsis
- Nutritionally variant streptococci (NVS) are bacteria that can lead to serious infections such as endocarditis, osteomyelitis, pneumonia, and abscesses.
- A case study is presented involving an 80-year-old man diagnosed with both osteomyelitis and mitral valve endocarditis.
- The report also includes a systematic review of cases related to osteomyelitis caused by NVS.

Background: Abiotrophia (ABI) and Granulicatella (GRA) are rare causative pathogens in infective endocarditis (IE). This study aims to describe the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and outcome of ABI/GRA-IE. The main features of ABI/GRA-IE were compared with Viridans group streptococci (VGS) IE.

, a nutritionally variant streptococcus, is part of the normal oral, gastrointestinal, and urogenital flora. It is associated with bacteremia, infectious endocarditis, and, rarely, bone and joint infections. infections also tend to have high mortality due to diagnostic challenges and antibiotic resistance.

(1) Background: is a former nutritionally variant streptococci (NVS). NVS infective endocarditis (IE) is generally characterized by a higher rate of morbidity and mortality, partially due to difficulties in choosing the most adequate microbiological culture method and the most effective treatment strategy, and partially due to higher rates of complications, such as heart failure, peripheral septic embolism, and peri-valvular abscess, as well as a higher rate of valve replacement. Depending on the affected valve (native valve endocarditisNVE, or prosthetic valve endocarditisPVE), the American Heart Association (AHA) 2015 treatment guidelines (GLs) suggest penicillin G, ampicillin, or ceftriaxone gentamicin (2 weeks for NVE and up to 6 weeks for PVE), while vancomycin alone may be a reasonable alternative in patients who are intolerant of β-lactam therapy.
