Presentation
We present an interesting case of Streptococcus oralis endocarditis, presenting with infective discitis, in an edentulous patient with no underlying structural valvular heart disease and no clinical features to suggest infective endocarditis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Three homologues of pavA, psaA and lmb, encoding adhesion proteins, were present in all strains. [research.ku.dk]

Congestive Heart Failure
Platelet interaction with S. oralis leads to the development of a thrombotic vegetation on heart valves, which results in valvular incompetence and congestive heart failure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The infections that progress to congestive heart failure resulting from recurring emboli often require surgery to replace the damaged valves. ViPrimePLUS Streptococcus mitis qPCR Kit is intended for research use only. [vivantechnologies.com]
