We describe a case of Gemella bergeriae endocarditis in a patient with a bicuspid aortic valve. Diagnosis was confirmed by sequencing of 16S rRNA genes in heart valve tissue. This is the first report of Gemella endocarditis confirmed by molecular detection of bacterial genes in heart valve tissue.
我们描述了一例患有二叶式主动脉瓣的患者发生伯杰孪生球菌心内膜炎的病例。通过对心脏瓣膜组织中的16S rRNA基因进行测序,确诊了该病例。这是首例通过对心脏瓣膜组织中的细菌基因进行分子检测而确诊的孪生球菌心内膜炎报告。
