“…Streptococci bovis (Gram-positive cocci) belongs to group D of the Lancefield classification and colonizes the gastrointestinal tract of the 2%–15% of the normal population [ 2 , 4 ]. Streptococcus bovis endocarditis has been associated with colonic neoplasms and chronic liver diseases.…”

“…The most frequently affected valve was aortic followed by mitral and aortic together. This organism is responsible for about 13% of infective endocarditis and may affect more than one valve [ 2 ]. This results in severe valvular damage, hemodynamic instability, and frequent septic embolization leading to major neurological complications [ 3 ].…”

Streptococcus bovis endocarditis has 18%–62% association with colonic neoplasms with multivalvular involvement and affects mainly elderly males leading to severe cardiac dysfunction, septic embolization, and neurological complications. The aortic valve is the commonest valve to be affected followed by aortic and mitral valves together. However, involvement of tricuspid valve is extremely rare. There are no reported cases of Streptococcus bovis endocarditis affecting the tricuspid valve in the presence of ventricular septal defect with left to right shunt. We report the case of a 25-year-old female with ventricular septal defect who was diagnosed to have tricuspid valve endocarditis caused by Streptococcus bovis. Her detailed colonoscopy, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, liver biochemistry, and ultrasound scan of the abdomen were normal. She made a very good recovery with six weeks of intravenous antibiotics. This is the first case of tricuspid valve endocarditis caused by Streptococcus bovis in association with ventricular septal defect without any colonic lesions.

Cancer, ranking second among the most commonly encountered diseases worldwide, is exhibiting an increasing incidence over time. Among cancer types, lung cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer hold the top three positions. Following these, digestive system cancers are the most frequently observed. The rising cancer-related mortality rates and potential difficulties during treatment exacerbate the fears and concerns of cancer patients. Throughout history, cancer has been attempted to be explained through theories such as lymphatic, humoral, blastoma, trauma, chronic irritation, and parasitic hypotheses. In contemporary times, a wealth of information exists concerning the roles of viruses and bacteria in cancer development. Among bacteria, the sole member acknowledged as a human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is Helicobacter pylori. While there is no conclusive evidence regarding Streptococcus bovis's capacity to induce cancer, substantial suspicions surround this matter. This review delves into the relationship between the Streptococcus bovis group of bacteria, which is associated with cancer but not listed by the IARC, and colorectal cancer.

Objective: To establish the etiological mechanisms of Streptococcus gallolyticus bacteremia in the development of colorectal cancer in 65-year-olds. Methods: A review of articles published in PubMed, BioMed Central, Scielo, Elsevier, Springer, among others, was carried out using the following keywords: Streptococcus bovis and colorectal cancer, Streptococcus gallolyticus and colorectal cancer, Streptococcus gallolyticus Streptococcus bovis and Association between Streptococcus bovis and colorectal cancer ".Results: A total of 568 patients with colorectal cancer and a total of 362 patients with colorectal adenomas presenting with S. gallolyticus bacteremia were determined from a total of 15 case reports from the 1974 to 2017 period. Patient age was reported in the 15 reports with an average of 65 years. Conclusions:It was concluded that the association between colorectal tumors with S. gallolyticus appears to be of etiological naturel. Evidence presented through 15 case reports retrospectively assessed from the period 1974 to 2017 shows that there is a fundamental relationship between S, bovis bacteremia and colorectal cancer.Citation: Guillermo MZ, Alejandra NH.
