A case of infective endocarditis caused by Rothia dentocariosa is described in a 53 year old man with a history of rheumatic fever. R dentocariosa is a component of the oral microbiota and has only rarely and recently been recognised as a human pathogen. In this patient the oral flora was the probable source of infection, with a broken molar tooth providing the probable avenue for infection.
一名有风湿热病史的53岁男性患者被诊断为龋齿罗氏菌引起的感染性心内膜炎。龋齿罗氏菌是口腔微生物群的组成部分,直到最近才很少被确认为人类病原体。在该患者中,口腔菌群可能是感染源,一颗磨牙的破损可能是感染途径。
