    Author: Bruegger D, Beiras-Fernandez A, Weis F, Weis M, Kur F.
    Journal: J Heart Valve Dis; 2009 Jul; 18(4):418-20. PubMed ID: 19852146.
    Abstract:
    Aerococcus urinae is a newly identified Gram-positive coccus that causes serious infections. To date, only 15 cases of A. urinae infective endocarditis have been reported, but with a very high mortality. The case is reported of a patient with A. urinae double valve endocarditis. Following aortic and mitral valve replacement, the patient suffered from refractory cardiogenic shock; extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was used successfully as a rescue mechanical support.
