  • Title: Propionibacterium acnes endocarditis in a native valve complicated by intraventricular abscess: a case report and review.
    Author: Mohsen AH, Price A, Ridgway E, West JN, Green S, McKendrick MW.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 2001; 33(5):379-80. PubMed ID: 11440225.
    Abstract:
    Propionibacterium acnes is a constituent of the normal skin flora. It has been described as causing infection on prosthetic valves but very rarely on native valves. We describe a case of aggressive P. acnes endocarditis in a healthy 36-y-old man which infected a native aortic valve and was complicated by an aortic root abscess and review the literature.
