  • Title: Fatal bioprosthetic aortic valve endocarditis due to Cardiobacterium valvarum.
    Author: Geissdörfer W, Tandler R, Schlundt C, Weyand M, Daniel WG, Schoerner C.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2007 Jul; 45(7):2324-6. PubMed ID: 17475754.
    Abstract:
    Cardiobacterium valvarum was isolated from the blood of a 71-year-old man with fatal aortic valve endocarditis. The API NH system was used for phenotypic characterization of the C. valvarum strain. This is the first case of infective endocarditis caused by C. valvarum in Germany and the first case worldwide affecting a prosthetic valve and lacking an obvious dental focus.
