J Clin Microbiol. 1997 ; 35(6):1616-70095-1137http://hdl.handle.net/10668/2120Case Reports; Journal Article;We report a case of bacterial endocarditis caused by nonhemolytic group B streptococcus (GBS) in a 67-year-old man with no predisposing risk factors. Nonhemolytic GBS strains rarely cause illness and are usually detected in perinatal infections. We believe this to be the first reported case of endocarditis caused by a nonhemolytic strain of GBS.enEndocarditis bacterianaHemólisisSerotipificaciónInfecciones estreptocócicasAncianoMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Bacterial Infections and Mycoses::Bacterial Infections::Endocarditis, BacterialMedical Subject Headings::Phenomena and Processes::Immune System Phenomena::Immune System Processes::Antigen-Antibody Reactions::HemolysisMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animals::Chordata::Vertebrates::Mammals::Primates::Haplorhini::Catarrhini::Hominidae::HumansMedical Subject Headings::Check Tags::MaleMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Diagnosis::Diagnostic Techniques and Procedures::Clinical Laboratory Techniques::Immunologic Tests::SerotypingMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Bacterial Infections and Mycoses::Bacterial Infections::Gram-Positive Bacterial Infections::Streptococcal InfectionsMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Bacteria::Gram-Positive Bacteria::Gram-Positive Cocci::Streptococcaceae::Streptococcus::Streptococcus agalactiaeMedical Subject Headings::Named Groups::Persons::Age Groups::Adult::Agedresearch article9163498open access1098-660XPMC229803
