Native-valve bacterial endocarditis caused by Lactococcus garvieae

Abstract

We report a case of definite Lactococcus garvieae native-valve endocarditis. The diagnosis was suspected in a patient presenting with congestive heart failure and found to have Enterococcus hirae bacteremia, with a history of L. garvieae bacteremia 1 month prior. Diagnosis was confirmed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing of the 2 isolates and the demonstration of aortic valve vegetations.
