“…In one instance of meningitis, analysis of the offending VGS isolate from the patient's cerebrospinal fluid was compared with an oropharyngeal swab from the treating neurologist which produced an identical microbiological profile 21 . S. mitis has also been implicated in endophthalmitis sustained from penetrating ocular injuries with used instruments during dental cleanings 22 , reaffirming the typical residence of this pathogen. In patients undergoing chemotherapy, iatrogenic mucositis permits S. mitis access from oral flora into the bloodstream where seeding onto cardiac valves is made possible 23 .…”

“…Notably, the swabbing of CPAP devices may result in a false negative culture due to sampling error, a low degree of inoculation, or location of the organism in a confluent area of the device not swabbed with culture materials. 22 …”

“…VGS have been emerging more frequently as causes of bacterial endophthalmitis in the scientific literature in recent years. Endophthalmitis cases caused by streptococcal species are associated with poor visual outcomes such as loss of light perception, evisceration, and enucleation [5–11]. In many cases, the VGS are the second most commonly identified causative agents of bacterial endophthalmitis after coagulase-negative staphylococci [8,1216].…”
