Abstract
A case of native valve endocarditis due to Acinetobacter calcoaceticus in a patient with dental caries is presented. The aortic, mitral and tricuspid valves were affected and showed vegetation by echocardiography in the affected valves. In spite of a good response to antibiotic therapy, multiple embolisms resulted in the patient's death. An autopsy confirmed the vegetation, which was calcified and contained no bacteria.
