The identification by conventional methods of viridans streptococcal species, which are rarely encountered clinically, requires confirmation by genomic methods. We characterized a strain of Streptococcus sinensis responsible for infective endocarditis by sequencing both the 16S rRNA and the manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase genes.

Abbreviations: IE, infective endocarditis.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of HDP 2005-0155 is EF371928.
