What is the most common cause of subacute endocarditis?

  1. Strep viridans

  2. Staph aureus

  3. Enterococcus

  4. H. influenzae

The correct answer is: Strep viridans

Subacute endocarditis is an infection of the lining of the heart or its valves. It is most commonly caused by bacteria, and Strep viridans is the most common bacteria that causes this condition. The other options, Staph aureus, Enterococcus, and H. influenzae, are also bacteria that can cause endocarditis but are not as common as Strep viridans. Therefore, option A is the most appropriate answer.
