  • Title: Cardiobacterium hominis causing late prosthetic valve endocarditis.
    Author: Jolie A, Gnann JW.
    Journal: South Med J; 1986 Nov; 79(11):1461-2. PubMed ID: 3775482.
    Abstract:
    We have described a patient with a prosthetic mitral valve who had endocarditis due to Cardiobacterium hominis 14 years after valve placement. She was cured with a six-week course of antibiotics, and valve replacement was not required. A four- to six-week course of ampicillin or penicillin G appears to be the therapy of choice.
