Cardiobacterium valvarum was isolated from the blood of a 71-year-old man with fatal aortic valve endocarditis. The API NH system was used for phenotypic characterization of the C. valvarum strain. This is the first case of infective endocarditis caused by C. valvarum in Germany and the first case worldwide affecting a prosthetic valve and lacking an obvious dental focus.
从一名患有致命性主动脉瓣心内膜炎的71岁男性血液中分离出瓣膜心杆菌。使用API NH系统对瓣膜心杆菌菌株进行表型特征分析。这是德国首例由瓣膜心杆菌引起的感染性心内膜炎病例,也是全球首例影响人工瓣膜且无明显牙源性病灶的病例。
