The first cases of infective endocarditis due to a new species of Bergeyella, Bergeyella cardium sp. nov., are reported. Two strains, 13-07(T) (= JCM 30115(T) = NCCP 15908(T)) and 13-16, were independently isolated from 2 patients in different hospitals in Korea. Initially, the isolates were identified as Brevundimonas spp.; however, their 16S rRNA gene sequences shared a similarity of 94.9% with Bergeyella zoohelcum, implying that they are a new species belonging to of the genus Bergeyella. The organisms might be susceptible to many commonly used antibiotics, including penicillin. The first case was successfully treated with ceftriaxone, and the second, with piperacillin/tazobactam plus amikacin.
报道了首例由一种新的伯格菌属物种——心伯格菌（Bergeyella cardium sp. nov.）引起的感染性心内膜炎病例。两株菌株，13 - 07(T)（= JCM 30115(T) = NCCP 15908(T)）和13 - 16，分别从韩国不同医院的两名患者中独立分离得到。最初，这些分离株被鉴定为短波单胞菌属（Brevundimonas spp.）；然而，它们的16S rRNA基因序列与动物伯格菌（Bergeyella zoohelcum）的相似性为94.9%，这表明它们是伯格菌属的一个新物种。这些微生物可能对包括青霉素在内的许多常用抗生素敏感。第一例患者用头孢曲松成功治愈，第二例患者用哌拉西林/他唑巴坦加阿米卡星治愈。
