An organism resembling Corynebacterium striatum was isolated from the blood of a patient with acute aortic valvular insufficiency and no history of valvular heart disease. At autopsy, histopathologic examination of the aortic valve revealed pleomorphic gram-positive bacilli and destruction of valvular tissue. Our isolate differed from other nondiphtherial corynebacteria, including the type strain of C. striatum (ATCC 6940), in its ability to reduce nitrite. Nitrite reduction may be useful for distinguishing strains of corynebacteria.
从一名患有急性主动脉瓣关闭不全且无瓣膜性心脏病病史的患者血液中分离出一种类似纹带棒状杆菌的微生物。尸检时，对主动脉瓣进行组织病理学检查发现多形性革兰氏阳性杆菌以及瓣膜组织破坏。我们分离出的菌株在还原亚硝酸盐的能力方面与其他非白喉棒状杆菌不同，包括纹带棒状杆菌的模式菌株（ATCC 6940）。亚硝酸盐还原可能有助于区分棒状杆菌菌株。
