is a gram-negative bacterium assigned to the family of . Less than 1% of Q-fever infection leads to infective endocarditis (IE). Cases of reported pulmonary valve (PV) prosthesis endocarditis are scarce. A patient with a PV prosthesis endocarditis caused by was seeking asylum in Germany. Prosthesis replacement was performed. All obtained blood cultures showed no growth as well as microbiological cultures of the prosthetic valve tissue. A polymerase chain reaction analysis on the explanted prosthesis detected DNA of spp. Diagnosing IE caused by requires an interdisciplinary effort from both clinicians and microbiologists.
