  • Title: Haemophilus segnis: a rare cause of endocarditis.
    Author: Somers CJ, Millar BC, Xu J, Moore DP, Moran AM, Maloney C, Keogh B, Murphy PG, Moore JE.
    Journal: Clin Microbiol Infect; 2003 Oct; 9(10):1048-50. PubMed ID: 14616751.
    Abstract:
    This report presents a case of endocarditis due to Haemophilus segnis, which represents a speciation difficulty for the routine laboratory. In this study, a molecular approach provided speciation, which was confirmed phenotypically by a reference laboratory. The use of molecular genotypic analysis is an additional strategy in the investigation of endocarditis. It has applications not only in isolate identification but also in primary detection of infection, particularly in patients whose blood is culture negative by conventional methodologies.
