Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is an omnipresent commensal in the environment, studied for over a century. It is a zoonotic pathogen known to cause infections in animals and humans. Cases of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae in humans have been classified into three distinct entities: localized skin infections, diffuse skin infections, and systemic organ involvement. This particular pathogen is an uncommon cause of endocarditis, with an affinity for the aortic valve. We present a case of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae in a patient with involvement of the tricuspid valve.
猪红斑丹毒丝菌是一种在环境中普遍存在的共生菌，已有一个多世纪的研究历史。它是一种人畜共患病原体，已知可导致动物和人类感染。人类感染猪红斑丹毒丝菌的病例已被分为三种不同类型：局部皮肤感染、弥漫性皮肤感染和全身器官受累。这种特殊的病原体是心内膜炎的罕见病因，对主动脉瓣有亲和力。我们报告一例猪红斑丹毒丝菌感染累及三尖瓣的病例。
