Polyclonal staphylococcus endocarditis.
Coagulase-negative staphylococcus (CNS) is the most frequent cause of nosocomial bacteremia and prosthetic valve endocarditis. CNS bacteremia can be polyclonal. No data exist on the clonality of CNS causing endocarditis. We present a case of CNS aortic homograft endocarditis in which at least five different genotypes of CNS were identified in initial blood-culture isolates by genomic macrorestr...
متن کاملStaphylococcal Valvular Endocarditis
pREVIOUS reports from this laboratory have described an effective method of producing impairment of cardiac lymph flow in the dog.1-3 One of our dogs, operated upon to produce chronic impairment of cardiac lymph flow, died spontaneously 82 days after surgery. A mediastinal abscess and a vegetative endocarditis of the mitral valve were found at autopsy. The valve changes being a unique occurrenc...

متن کاملEndocarditis caused by Capnocytophaga ochracea.
Capnocytophaga ochracea is a gram-negative, fusiform bacillus which is part of the normal human oral flora. This organism is often isolated from periodontal lesions of patients with periodontitis and is associated with sepsis in granulocytopenic patients. We report here a case of endocarditis caused by C. ochracea.
متن کاملEndocarditis caused by Rhodotorula infection.
Rhodotorula is an emerging opportunistic fungal pathogen that is rarely reported to cause endocarditis. We describe a case involving a patient who developed endocarditis due to Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and Staphylococcus epidermidis, proven by culture and histopathology. The case illustrates the unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges relevant to Rhodotorula spp.
