High Burden of Viridans Streptococcal Endocarditis Linked to Multidrug Resistance and Regional Risk Factors: First Report From Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan

2025-12-08

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> <bold>Background:</bold> Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life-threatening condition caused by Viridans Group Streptococci (VGS) in low and middle-income countries. Data on epidemiology and molecular resistance mechanisms in the high-risk resource-limited setting of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan, are scarce. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, risk factors, and molecula...
