Streptococcus intermedius is a beta-hemolytic, non-motile, catalase-negative, gram-positive member of the Streptococcus anginosus group. When compared to other members of this group like S. anginosus and Streptococcus constellatus , S. intermedius infections are more substantial. In this case, we present a 47-year-old male patient who was found to have S. intermedius abscesses in his lungs, liver, and brain. The treatment of choice for these abscesses is a combination of drainage, surgery, and antibiotic therapy.
