Corynebacterium xerosis is a rare cause of endocarditis, mainly affecting immunocompromised patients and those with predisposing cardiovascular lesions. While often considered a blood culture contaminant, serious infections by this organism have been reported. C. xerosis endocarditis is associated with poor outcomes that could be potentially improved by early recognition and treatment.
干燥棒状杆菌是心内膜炎的罕见病因，主要影响免疫功能低下的患者以及有易患心血管病变的人群。虽然它常被认为是血培养污染物，但已有该病原体导致严重感染的报道。干燥棒状杆菌心内膜炎预后较差，早期识别和治疗可能会改善这种情况。
