Abstract
Neonatal<i>Granulicatella elegans</i>Bacteremia, London, UK
Highlights
To the Editor: Granulicatella elegans, a bacterium found in normal human oral flora, is generally associated with infective endocarditis
Gram staining of the colonies showed gram-positive bacilli that were morphologically similar to those isolated from placenta
The possibility of nutritionally variant streptococci (NVS) should be considered when gram-positive cocci or bacilli are seen on Gram staining, but the cocci/bacilli grow poorly on nonsupplemented media
