  • Title: Moraxella catarrhalis endocarditis: case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Stefanou J, Agelopoulou AV, Sipsas NV, Smilakou N, Avlami A.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 2000; 32(2):217-8. PubMed ID: 10826914.
    Abstract:
    A case of bacterial endocarditis caused by Moraxella catarrhalis in an apparently immunocompetent Greek male is presented, which was diagnosed after a 2-month history of low-grade fever of unknown origin. The agent seems to be a rare pathogen, but due to the high mortality rate, it should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of relevant cases. Beta-lactamase production by many strains complicates the choice of antibiotic.
