Coagulase negative staphylococci are a rare cause of native valve endocarditis. Staphylococcus saprophyticus is a coagulase-negative Staphylococcus infrequently reported as a human pathogen, and most of the cases reported are urinary tract infections. We describe a case of native valve endocarditis attributed to this organism. The patient needed valve replacement due to heart failure.
凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌是天然瓣膜心内膜炎的罕见病因。腐生葡萄球菌是一种凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌，很少被报道为人类病原体，且所报道的大多数病例为尿路感染。我们描述了一例由该病原体引起的天然瓣膜心内膜炎病例。患者因心力衰竭需要进行瓣膜置换。
