A Novel Streptococcus Organism Identified in a Case of Fulminant Endocarditis Using 16S rDNA Sequencing

We report the identification of a virulent Streptococcus organism associated with fulminant endocarditis, using 16S rRNA gene amplification, sequencing and assembly from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded archival heart valve tissue, years after the autopsy of a patient.
