  • Title: Gerbode defect with Staphylococcus lugdunensis native tricuspid valve infective endocarditis.
    Author: Carpenter RJ, Price GD, Boswell GE, Nayak KR, Ramirez AR.
    Journal: J Card Surg; 2012 May; 27(3):316-20. PubMed ID: 22329696.
    Abstract:
    Coagulase-negative staphylococci are generally not considered to be very virulent; they are an uncommon cause of native valve endocarditis. Staphylococcus lugdunensis is an important exception and causes more severe infections, clinically mimicking S. aureus. We present a case of direct Gerbode defect associated with S. lugdunensis native valve infective endocarditis (IE) requiring cardiac surgery.
