| Core Tip |
Granulicatella species, formerly known as nutritionally variant streptococci, are increasingly recognized as significant pathogens in infective endocarditis (IE) and other systemic infections. This narrative review synthesizes published case reports and series to highlight the diverse clinical manifestations, diagnostic challenges, and treatment outcomes associated with Granulicatella and Abiotrophia infections. By underscoring the rarity and complexity of these organisms, this work emphasizes the need for heightened clinical awareness and more standardized diagnostic approaches. |
