  • Title: Streptococcus bovis bacteraemia: its significance for the colorectal surgeon.
    Author: Grieve DA, Chen SC, Chapuis PH, Bradbury R.
    Journal: Aust N Z J Surg; 1990 Jul; 60(7):550-2. PubMed ID: 2357182.
    Abstract:
    Patients with Streptococcus bovis bacteraemia are at high risk of harbouring an asymptomatic colorectal cancer or adenomatous polyps. It is therefore important to differentiate to a species level any Group D streptococci grown in blood cultures. Colonoscopy is the preferred method of screening these patients and high dose penicillin is the antibiotic of choice.
