Granulicatella Adiacens

We report a case of a previously healthy, afebrile patient who presented with subacute bilateral lower extremity rash and complete heart block, which was later found to be secondary to infective endocarditis. His transoesophageal echocardiogram detected multiple vegetations and blood cultures were positive for Granulicatella adiacens, a nutritionally variant streptococcus that is a normal component of oral flora and thought to be responsible for approximately 5% of all cases of streptococcal endocarditis. Due to concerns for renal failure, the patient was treated with an unconventional regimen of ampicillin and ceftriaxone. He underwent a valve replacement and pacemaker placement and has done well since hospital discharge.

Granulicatella adiacensis a Gram-positive coccus, formerly grouped with nutritionally variantStreptococcus, often found as commensal bacteria of the human oral cavity, urogenital tract, and gastrointestinal tract. Prior case reports have demonstratedGranulicatellaspp. as a pathogen that can cause bacteremia and infective endocarditis particularly of prosthetic valves and pacemaker leads. Here, we report on a unique case ofGranulicatella adiacensbacterascites in a 50-year-old male.
