Case report reveals concurrent aortic valve endocarditis and hepatic abscess caused by Streptococcus milleri, highlighting an unusual presentation of group C streptococcal infection.
Although well-recognized animal pathogens, group C streptococci are relatively rare causes of human infection. The phenotypically small-colony group C 'Streptococcus milleri' are typically associated with suppurative disease of soft tissue and organs, including liver abscesses, while bacteraemia and endocarditis are distinctly less common. Herein, a case of 'S. milleri' causing both endocarditis and liver abscess in the same patient is reported.
