This morning we discussed a case of subacute bacterial endocarditis secondary to Strep viridans.
Here is a previous post on endocarditis with some great review referrences.
* Viridans Streptococcus is a term for a large group of commensal streptococcal bacteria that are either α-hemolytic, producing a green coloration on blood agar plates (hence the name "viridans", from Latin "vĭrĭdis", green), or nonhemolytic.
