“…2,3 S. gordonii can also be an opportunistic pathogen and has been sporadically involved in human infections such as periodontal disease, septic arthritis, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, and necrotizing pneumonia. [4][5][6] Although infective endocarditis(IE) caused by S. gordonii has seldom been reported, the clinical presentation seems to be indistinguishable from that caused by other VGS. 7 S. gordonii IE characteristically presents as a subacute infection, which is often complicated with subsequent valve destruction and emboli formation if not promptly recognized and treated.…”

Key Clinical MessageStreptococcus gordonii‐associated endocarditis is a rare occurrence, raising diagnostic challenges, and is often associated with considerable morbidity. However, vigilance can prevent devastating consequences.AbstractStreptococcus gordonii‐associated endocarditis is rarely reported but often associated with considerable morbidity. We describe three cases of infective endocarditis caused by S. gordonii during a four‐week period in 2023, and the use of whole‐genome sequencing to determine whether these isolates were genetically related. The available literature was reviewed.
