“…The rate of patients undergoing colonic evaluation in our study (52 %) did not significantly differ from those reported in previous literature [ 13 , 14 ] (70 and 50 %) although it was far lower than those reported by Ballet et al (81 %) and Tripod et al (96 %) [ 15 , 16 ]. However, the prevalence of colonic malignancies or premalignancies we found in those patients subjected to gastroenteroscopic evaluation 13/25 is in between those reported in other studies, with a similar number of patients subjected to colonic evaluation (33 %, Coffey and 86 % Vaska) [ 13 , 14 ]. S. gallolyticus subsp.…”

Streptococcus bovis infectious endocarditis and occult gastrointestinal neoplasia: experience with 25 consecutive patients treated surgically

To assess the prevalence of gastrointestinal neoplasia in patients with Streptococcus bovis infectious endocarditis we performed a retrospective cohort analysis of all episodes of S. bovis infectious endocarditis treated at our institution between January 2000 through December 2014. Twenty-five patients were identified for this purpose. 12/25 patients received colonoscopy and 1/25 of the patients was assessed with CT colonography. Of the 13 who underwent colonic assessment, 11 were diagnosed with colonic neoplasms at different stages of development. In the absence of any strong contraindication, gastroenteroscopic evaluation in all patients diagnosed with S. bovis infectious endocarditis should be pursued.

Case-control study: Determination of potential risk factors for the colonization of healthy volunteers with Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. gallolyticus

Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. gallolyticus was identified in humans and animals as commensal of the gut and can act as a causative agent of endocarditis and septicemia. A case-control study was performed to identify yet unknown risk factors for the transmission of this facultative pathogen. The prevalence in the gut of 99 healthy volunteers was determined using real-time polymerase chain reaction resulting in 62.5% S. gallolyticus subsp. gallolyticus positive excrements. Subsequent cultivation offered three isolates and epidemiological analysis based on MLST revealed sequence type (ST) 3 and ST 7, previously detected from bovine and endocarditis patients. These results support the hypotheses of the zoonotic potential of this bacterium. Participant questionnaires were evaluated concerning personal characteristics, nutritional habits and animal contact. Specifically, closer contact between participants and animals influenced the colonization of the human gut significantly and was further affected if volunteers used excrement for the fertilization of plants.

“…The SBSEC is considered to be an emerging pathogenic group for IE in Europe and New Zealand (Coffey et al, 2012;Giannitsioti et al, 2007). The percentage of SBSEC-associated IE within cases of streptococcal IE increased from 10.9% to 23.3% from 1995 to 2005.…”
