Streptococcus acidominimus is rarely pathogenic in humans. In the literature, there are only few cases related to S. acidominimus , including pneumonia, meningitis, brain abscess, pericarditis, sepsis, and endocarditis. Up to now, only a few cases have been published on infective endocarditis due to S. acidominimus , commonly causing left-sided disease. Increasingly, it was noted that it is resistant to beta-lactams. There are no published cases of infective endocarditis due to S. acidominimus in Sri Lanka. Here, we report a case of right-sided native-valve infective endocarditis caused by S. acidominimus which was sensitive to beta-lactams in a 52-year-old man with congenital heart disease.
