Endovascular infection and septic arthritis caused by Gemella morbillorum.
Streptococcus morbillorum was transferred to the genus Gemella in 1988. Infections caused by G. morbillorum are unusual. We report a case of endovascular infection and presumptive septic arthritis caused by G. morbillorum. Previous cases of infection caused by G. morbillorum and G. haemolysans are reviewed.
