  • Title: Successful ceftriaxone therapy of endocarditis due to penicillin non-susceptible viridans streptococci.
    Author: Shelburne SA, Greenberg SB, Aslam S, Tweardy DJ.
    Journal: J Infect; 2007 Feb; 54(2):e99-101. PubMed ID: 16824611.
    Abstract:
    Viridans streptococci are a major cause of infective endocarditis, and penicillin non-susceptibility is increasing in these organisms. We present the initial reported case of infective endocarditis due to penicillin non-susceptible viridans streptococci successfully treated with ceftriaxone monotherapy. The lack of evidence supporting the recommendations for treatment of endocarditis due to penicillin non-susceptible viridans streptococci is discussed.
