Abstract
- Whether cirrhotic patients with Streptococcus bovis bacteremia have an increased risk of colorectal neoplasm is uncertain. A multicentric retrospective cohort study was conducted investigating associations between S. bovis biotype and species, cirrhosis, and colorectal neoplasm. Out of 779 patients with S. bovis bacteremia, 69 (8.7%) had cirrhosis. No differences were found in the prevalence of colorectal neoplasm between cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic patients undergoing colonoscopy. Among cirrhotic patients, prevalence of colorectal neoplasms was higher in S. bovis biotype I (S. gallolyticus) bacteremia (80%) than in S. bovis biotype II (33.3%; p < 0.007). In conclusion, risk of colorectal neoplasm is high among cirrhotic patients with S. gallolyticus bacteremia.<br /> (© 2023.
