Septicaemia with Neisseria elongata ssp. nitroreducens in a patient with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathia

T Hofstad et al. Scand J Infect Dis. 1998.

Abstract

Neisseria elongata ssp. nitroreducens, a commensal of the human upper respiratory tract, is a newly recognized cause of endocarditis. We report the isolation of the organism from blood cultures of a 30-y-old man with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. The patient was successfully treated with benzylpenicillin and netilmicin in combination, followed by ceftriaxone and amoxicillin.
