Bacteremia and endocarditis caused by a Gordonia species in a patient with a central venous catheter

O Lesens et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2000 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

We report the first case of endocarditis caused by a Gordonia species genetically related to G. sputi but exhibiting some atypical biochemical features in a 31-year-old woman with a central venous catheter. This unusual pathogen may be a new cause of opportunistic infections in patients with severe underlying diseases.
