First report of Brevundimonas aurantiaca human infection: infective endocarditis on aortic bioprostheses and supracoronary aortic graft acquired by water dispenser of domestic refrigerator
Abstract
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a feared life-threatening complication that requires a multidisciplinary approach. Although a variety of microorganisms have caused IE, Brevundimonas aurantiaca human infection has never been reported previously. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of endocarditis and human infection due to B. aurantiaca.
Keywords: Brevundimona aurantica; Cardiac surgery; Infective endocarditis.
