You said it was Streptococcus mirelli. Did you mean Streptococcus milleri?
Streptococcus milleri (which is also sometimes known as S. intermedius) has
been associated with brain and hepatic abscess, endocarditis, peritonitis and
other syndromes, often as a single isolate (i.e. not part of a polymicrobial or
mixed infection). So she MAY have been "colonized" with a bug that can cause
invasive disease.
