ABSTRACT
Three isolates of satellite streptococci were cultivated from the blood of a patient affected persistent bacterial endocarditis. They had distinguishable ultrastructural abnormalities. Their cell wall architecture changed from a fuzzy coat (first isolate) to a thick electron transparent layer covered with a rough fuzzy coat (second isolate), and to electron dense globular material which detached from the wall in small patches (third isolate). The antibiotics probably played an important role in changing their architecture. These three isolates were probably derived from the same strain, since they had common biochemical characteristics and they were isolated from the same patient during the course of his endocarditis.
