Subacute endocarditis due to viridans streptococci (S. sanguinis, S. mutans) is often a sequela of {{c1::dental}} procedures
Extra
- Transient bacteremia leads to trapping of bacteria in the vegetations
- Viridans group streptococci utilize dextrans (insoluble extracellular polysaccharides) to adhere to tooth enamel and fibrin-platelet aggregates on damaged heart valves, potentially leading to dental plaque and infective endocarditis, respectively

Viridans streptococci
- Most likely organisms to cause IE following dental manipulation (e.g., tooth extraction)
- Group includes S. sanguinis, S. mitis, S. mutans, and S. milleri
