Summary:Granulicatella species are nutritionally variant streptococci first described in 1961. Granulicatella species form a part of the normal flora of the oral cavity, genitourinary tract, and intestinal tract. These micro-organisms cause bacteremia or local infections such as endocarditis, central nervous system infections, arthritis, and osteomyelitis. Since isolation of Granulicatella species is difficult, only a few cases of infection caused by this microorganism have been reported. Herein, we report a case of endocarditis caused by Granulicatella adiacens in a 46-year-old patient with ventricular septal defect. KCI Citation Count: 2
