  • Title: Progression of Lactobacillus plantarum prosthetic valve endocarditis followed by transesophageal echocardiogram.
    Author: Tavernese A, Stelitano M, Mauceri A, Mollace R, Uccello G, Romeo F, Cammalleri V.
    Journal: Int J Infect Dis; 2020 Aug; 97():160-161. PubMed ID: 32470600.
    Abstract:
    Endocarditis due to Lactobacillus species is extremely rare. We report an uncommon case of Lactobacillus plantarum bioprosthetic aortic valve endocarditis, presenting with severe aortic steno-regurgitation, which responded to conventional medical and surgical treatment. This case provides a better understanding of the disease process of L. plantarum and highlights the role of transesophageal echocardiography in following the entire course of endocarditis.
