Endocarditis of native aortic and mitral valves due to an organism identified as Corynebacterium accolens developed in a 73-year-old patient without predisposing factors. The organism was identified as C. accolens by biochemical identification, amplified rRNA gene restriction analysis, and DNA-DNA hybridization. This is the first case of C. accolens endocarditis reported, adding to the increasing number of Corynebacterium-related cases of endocarditis.
一名73岁无易感因素的患者发生了由一种被鉴定为簇拥棒状杆菌的微生物引起的原发性主动脉瓣和二尖瓣心内膜炎。通过生化鉴定、rRNA基因扩增限制性分析和DNA-DNA杂交,该微生物被鉴定为簇拥棒状杆菌。这是首例报道的簇拥棒状杆菌心内膜炎病例,也增加了与棒状杆菌相关的心内膜炎病例数量。
