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.
