Comamonas testosteroni has rarely been implicated as a human pathogen. We report a case of infectious endocarditis due to this organism, occurring in a 49-year-old man. The posterior leaflet of the mitral valve contained a 1 x 1 cm vegetation and showed myxoid degeneration and acute inflammation. The patient had no evidence of reinfection after 32 months. The infection was almost certainly community acquired, as is usually true for this organism.
睾丸酮丛毛单胞菌很少被认为是人类病原体。我们报告一例由该菌引起的感染性心内膜炎病例，患者为一名49岁男性。二尖瓣后叶有一个1×1厘米的赘生物，表现为黏液样变性和急性炎症。该患者在32个月后没有再次感染的迹象。这种感染几乎肯定是社区获得性的，该菌通常如此。
