  • Title: Endocarditis caused by Propionibacterium acnes: an easily ignored pathogen.
    Author: Pan SC, Wang JT, Hsueh PR, Chang SC.
    Journal: J Infect; 2005 Nov; 51(4):e229-31. PubMed ID: 16291276.
    Abstract:
    Propionibacterium acnes, which usually considered as a contaminant, has been found to be an emerging pathogen in human diseases. We describe a case of prosthetic valve related endocarditis caused by P. acnes. Sequencing of the genetic coding of 16S ribosomal RNA was used to identify the pathogen and random amplified polymorphic DNA patterns further confirmed the persistent bacteraemia, which help to determine the diagnosis.
