  • Title: Nosocomial endocarditis caused by Corynebacterium amycolatum and other nondiphtheriae corynebacteria.
    Author: Knox KL, Holmes AH.
    Journal: Emerg Infect Dis; 2002 Jan; 8(1):97-9. PubMed ID: 11749760.
    Abstract:
    The nondiphtheriae corynebacteria are uncommon but increasingly recognized as agents of endocarditis in patients with underlying structural heart disease or prosthetic-valves. We describe three cases of nosocomial endocarditis caused by nondiphtheriae corynebacteria, including the first reported case of Corynebacterium amycolatum, endocarditis. These all occurred in association with indwelling intravascular devices.
