  • Title: Propionibacterium acnes endocarditis of a prosthetic aortic valve.
    Author: List RJ, Sheikh N, Theologou T, Mitchell IM, Mathew T.
    Journal: Clin Cardiol; 2009 Aug; 32(8):E46-7. PubMed ID: 19455672.
    Abstract:
    In the few reported cases of Propionibacterium infective endocarditis involving prosthetic aortic valves, abscess is common and frequently requires surgery. We report a case of P. acnes infective endocarditis identified on prolonged blood cultures with aortic root abscess involving a Starr-Edwards valve. Intravenous antibiotics and valve replacement led to recovery.
