Streptococcus sinensis: an emerging agent of infective endocarditis

Frédéric Faibis et al. J Med Microbiol. 2008 Apr.

Abstract

The identification by conventional methods of viridans streptococcal species, which are rarely encountered clinically, requires confirmation by genomic methods. We characterized a strain of Streptococcus sinensis responsible for infective endocarditis by sequencing both the 16S rRNA and the manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase genes.
