Spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) as the presenting feature of infective endocarditis (IE) is rare. It has classically been described in association with the rupture of intracranial mycotic aneurysms (ICMA). Here we describe a very rare case of non-aneurysmal spontaneous SAH in a patient with IE. The patient originally presented with a headache and low-grade fever. Neuroimaging includin...

Sheep adapted to consume tannins rich feeds such as oak leaf (OL) appear to develop defensive mechanisms by their ruminal bacteria against these polyphenols. The capabilities of ruminal isolated tannins resistant bacteria from these animals to ferment a tanniniferous feed (i.e., pistachio hulls, (PH) which were incubated with rumen fluid from Holstein dairy cows was assessed. Six g positive coc...

The coincidence of infective endocarditis (IE) caused by the organism Streptococcus gallolyticus (subsp gallolyticus, also referred to as Streptococcus bovis biotype I) and colon carcinoma has piqued the interest of infectious disease clinicians since an association between enterococcal endocarditis and sigmoid carcinoma was first documented in 1951 [1]. For more than 5 decades, the association...
