Rothia mucilaginosa is increasingly recognized as an emerging pathogen associated with endocarditis. It has mostly been reported a causative agent for prosthetic valve endocarditis. The previously reported cases of native valve endocarditis caused by this organism only required medical treatment with no surgical intervention. We report a case of R. mucilaginosa native valve endocarditis complicated by abscess formation requiring surgical intervention and review the literature of native valve endocarditis caused by this organism.
黏液罗氏菌越来越被认为是一种与心内膜炎相关的新兴病原体。它大多被报道为人工瓣膜心内膜炎的病原体。此前报道的由该菌引起的天然瓣膜心内膜炎病例仅需药物治疗,无需手术干预。我们报告一例黏液罗氏菌天然瓣膜心内膜炎合并脓肿形成,需要手术干预,并回顾了由该菌引起的天然瓣膜心内膜炎的文献。
