Background: The emergence of viridans group streptococci that are relatively or fully resistant to penicillin is increasingly being recognized worldwide, but only a scant number of penicillin-resistant isolates have been described as a cause of infective endocarditis. In penicillin-resistant (MIC>0.5 mg/l) streptococcal (including viridans streptococci) endocarditis, the first-line treatment is high-dose penicillin (12-24 million units/day or 7.2-14.4 g/day) or ampicillin (at least 200 mg/kg per day), plus an aminoglycoside (streptomycin, .75-1g/day or gentamicin, 3 mg/kg per day) for 4-6 weeks. In penicillin-resistant (MIC>0.5 mg/l) streptococcal (including viridans streptococci) endocarditis, the first-line treatment is high-dose penicillin (12-24 million units/day or 7.2-14.4 g/day) or ampicillin (at least 200 mg/kg per day), plus an aminoglycoside (streptomycin, .75-1g/day or gentamicin, 3 mg/kg per day) for 4-6 weeks.

Viridans streptococci. Viridans group streptococci (VGS), a genetically heterogeneous group of bacteria, are the predominant bacteria in the human oropharynx ().VGS cause a wide range of infections in humans, including bacteremia in patients with neutropenia, infective endocarditis, and orbital cellulitis (2-5).However, despite the substantial clinical effect of VGS, the epidemiology and pathogenesis of these . The present AHA scientific statement notes the variable adoption of those guideline recommendations, and summarizes existing data on VGS IE (predominantly from retrospective, population, or health system-based studies relying on claims data, registries, or epidemiological observations; and using nonstandardized methods for the identification of IE), with the conclusion that existing data do not convincingly demonstrate a change in the frequency of or morbidity or mortality associated with VGS IE after the guideline change.
