  • Title: Endocarditis due to vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus raffinosus successfully treated with linezolid: case report and review of literature.
    Author: Jasovich A, Ganaha MC, Ebi C, García RD, Blanco MA, Lopardo H.
    Journal: Rev Argent Microbiol; 2008; 40(4):204-7. PubMed ID: 19213241.
    Abstract:
    Enterococcus raffinosus is scarcely found in clinical samples and even less frequently as etiologic agent of endocarditis. We are herein presenting one case of mitral prosthetic-valve endocarditis in a 77-y-o male due to a vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus raffinosus isolate, successfully treated with 6 weeks of linezolid, and a two-year follow up.
