We investigated the microorganisms causing blood culture-negative endocarditis (BCNE) in Morocco. We tested 19 patients with BCNE by serologic methods, molecular methods, or both and identified Bartonella quintana, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus equi, and Streptococcus oralis in 4 patients. These results highlight the role of these zoonotic agents in BCNE in Morocco.
我们调查了摩洛哥导致血培养阴性心内膜炎(BCNE)的微生物。我们通过血清学方法、分子方法或两者结合的方法对 19 名 BCNE 患者进行了检测,并在 4 名患者中鉴定出了巴尔通体 quintana、金黄色葡萄球菌、马链球菌和口腔链球菌。这些结果强调了这些人畜共患病原在摩洛哥 BCNE 中的作用。
