✦ Synopsis

Streptococcus sanguis, usually considered a nonpathogen of the oral cavity, was isolated from blood cultures from a patient who was subsequently found to have a cecal adenocarcinoma. Further studies are needed to determine if Streptococcus san- guis infections have diagnostic implications similar to those of Streptococcus bovis.
