Abstract
- Granulicatella adiacens was first described as nutritionally variant streptococci, and named as Streptococcus adjacens and Abiotrophia adiacens. Granulicatella species are flora of oral cavity, upper respiratory, urogenital, and gastrointestinal tracts, and are normal often isolated from patients with infective endocarditis. G. adiacens endocarditis is associated with high mortality, but the species hardly grow in the ordinary growth media. We report a case of septicemia caused by G. adiacens in a 52-year-old woman with liver cirrhosis and chronic renal failure.
