A case of Cardiobacterium hominis endocarditis involving a prosthetic heart valve is reported, and 12 previously reported cases are reviewed. This gram-negative rod grows slowly in blood cultures and is readily suppressed for long periods of time by token antibiotic administration. It should be considered as a causative agent in culture-negative cases of endocarditis and also when a gram-negative rod is isolated which is sensitive to all antibiotics. The treatment of choice is penicillin.
本文报告了1例人心杆菌心内膜炎累及人工心脏瓣膜的病例，并复习了此前报道的12例病例。这种革兰氏阴性杆菌在血培养中生长缓慢，给予少量抗生素即可长时间抑制其生长。在血培养阴性的心内膜炎病例中，以及分离出对所有抗生素敏感的革兰氏阴性杆菌时，均应考虑该菌为病原体。首选治疗药物为青霉素。
