Successful treatment of mitral valve endocarditis in a dog associated with 'Actinomyces canis-like' infection
J Vet Cardiol.

Abstract
Infective endocarditis, an inflammation of the endocardial surface due to invasion by an infectious agent, is more common in middle sized to large breed dogs. We herein report a case of mitral valve endocarditis in a 9-year-old male-castrated Weimaraner caused by an Actinomyces canis-like bacterium, not previously reported in association with infection in dogs.
Keywords: 16s rDNA PCR; Actinomycosis; Bacterial endocarditis; Blood culture.
