Background
- Gram-positive anaerobic coccus
- Commensal member of the gut microbiota, occasionally urogenital tract and skin
Clinical Manifestations
- Chronic apical periodontitis
- Bacteremia1
- Can be from discitis (30%), oropharyngeal infection (25%), intraabdominal abscess (15%), GI tract infection (10%), endocarditis (10%), and septic pulmonary emboli (10%)
- Up to half have polymicrobial bacteremia
- May also be involved in meningitis, brain abscess, and neck abscess
Management
- Fairly susceptible, including to penicillin, piperacillin-tazobactam, meropenem, clindamycin
