Endocarditis caused by M6
J Clin Microbiol.
1983 May.
Abstract
M6 is a Moraxella-like organism which is usually of pharyngeal origin and is generally nonpathogenic. Endocarditis caused by M6 occurred in a 31-year-old female with known mitral valve prolapse. The infection quickly responded to ampicillin, but valve replacement was required because of progressive left ventricular failure.
