| Abstract |
The present review introduces the 20 studies on NVS, and will describe the isolation method and the differentiation methods from similar bacteria related infective endocarditis. Although it has been considered difficult to identify nutritionally variant streptococci, now the application of genetic methods and/or MALDI-TOF-MS can be readily identified. However, infective endocarditis caused by nutritionally variant streptococci, despite being known for more than 50 years, is difficult to treat. The first important, not the identification at species level of nutritionally variant streptococci, it is to distinguish from other pathogens that are similar to nutritionally variant streptococci. |
