We report a case of definite Lactococcus garvieae native-valve endocarditis. The diagnosis was suspected in a patient presenting with congestive heart failure and found to have Enterococcus hirae bacteremia, with a history of L. garvieae bacteremia 1 month prior. Diagnosis was confirmed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing of the 2 isolates and the demonstration of aortic valve vegetations.
我们报告一例确诊的加氏乳球菌自体瓣膜心内膜炎病例。一名出现充血性心力衰竭且被发现有平端肠球菌菌血症的患者被怀疑患有此病，该患者1个月前有过加氏乳球菌菌血症病史。通过对2株分离菌进行16S rRNA基因测序以及证实主动脉瓣赘生物，确诊了该病。
