Abstract
We report a case of human aortic valve infective endocarditis caused by Enterococcus cecorum. The organism was recovered from blood and identified by 16S ribosomal gene polymerase chain reaction (PCR). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case of E. cecorum endocarditis. We wish to highlight the use of PCR for organism identification and to describe the initial misidentification of the pathogen.
摘要
我们报告了一例由屎肠球菌引起的人类主动脉瓣感染性心内膜炎。该菌从血液中分离并通过 16S 核糖体基因聚合酶链反应（PCR）鉴定。据我们所知，这是首例屎肠球菌心内膜炎的病例。我们希望强调 PCR 在病原体鉴定中的应用，并描述最初对病原体的错误鉴定。
