  • Title: Cardiobacterium hominis endocarditis.
    Author: Spernoga JF, Laskowski L, Marr JJ, Burmeister RW.
    Journal: South Med J; 1979 Jan; 72(1):85-7. PubMed ID: 760233.
    Abstract:
    A case of Cardiobacterium hominis endocarditis involving a prosthetic heart valve is reported, and 12 previously reported cases are reviewed. This gram-negative rod grows slowly in blood cultures and is readily suppressed for long periods of time by token antibiotic administration. It should be considered as a causative agent in culture-negative cases of endocarditis and also when a gram-negative rod is isolated which is sensitive to all antibiotics. The treatment of choice is penicillin.
