Abstract
We report a case of infective endocarditis caused by drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae. Cefazolin or cefotaxime therapy induced a partial response. Treatment with vancomycin was successful. This microorganism may be more significant in endocarditis in areas with a high prevalence of drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae.
