Streptococcus pneumoniae is an uncommon cause of infective endocarditis (IE). We studied the presentation, microbiologic characteristics, and outcome of nine cases of S pneumoniae IE during a 12 1/2-year period in a population of 75,000 indigenous Alaska Natives (ANs), who have documented high rates of invasive pneumococcal disease.
