# Arteriovenous Graft Infection Due to Granulicatella adiacens

## TL;DR

This paper reports a rare case of infection in an arteriovenous graft caused by Granulicatella adiacens, a bacterium typically found in the human body.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in documenting the first known case of arteriovenous graft infection caused by Granulicatella adiacens.

## Key findings

- Granulicatella adiacens was identified as the causative agent in a case of arteriovenous graft infection.
- This is the first reported case linking Granulicatella adiacens to such an infection.

## Abstract

Granulicatella adiacens is a gram-positive coccus that is normally found in the human oral cavity and gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts but can rarely cause infection. When it does cause infection, Granulicatella adiacens has been most associated with bacteremia and endovascular infection, but to our knowledge, there are no previously documented cases of arteriovenous graft (AVG) infection. We present a case of Granulicatella adiacens bacteremia with associated AVG infection.
