Background
- A Gram Positive Bacteria in the Streptococcus Genus
- In general, low virulence pathogens and likely Blood Culture Contaminant (21-50% of positive blood cultures are clinically significant) unless risk factor (see below)[1]
Types
- Streptococcus milleri
- Streptococcus sanguis
- Streptococcus mitis
- Streptococcus bovis
Risk Factors for Viridans Bacteremia[2]
- neutropenia
- oral mucositis
- irradiation to the oral cavity
- antibiotic prophylaxis with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and fluoroquinolones
- intravenous hyperalimentation
- high dose chemotherapy

Key
- S susceptible/sensitive (usually)
- I intermediate (variably susceptible/resistant)
- R resistant (or not effective clinically)
- S+ synergistic with cell wall antibiotics
- U sensitive for UTI only (non systemic infection)
- X1 no data
- X2 active in vitro, but not used clinically
- X3 active in vitro, but not clinically effective for Group A strep pharyngitis or infections due to E. faecalis
- X4 active in vitro, but not clinically effective for strep pneumonia
