Clinical and microbiological profile of Viridans group streptococcal bacteraemia; experience from South India
CONCLUSIONS: VGS are an important cause of bacteraemia and was associated with 19% mortality in our study. High rates of penicillin and ceftriaxone resistance are a reason of concern. Molecular diagnostics like matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) identification must be increasingly applied for species identification considering that a substantial number of isolates were not identified to species level.PMID:38456022 | PMC:PMC10917554 | DOI:10.53854/liim-3201-5
