Lactococcus garvieae endocarditis: report of a case and review of the literature

J J Fefer et al. Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis. 1998 Oct.

Abstract

Bacterial endocarditis due to Lactococcus garvieae is extremely unusual, and may actually be underreported due to its morphologic and biochemical similarities with enterococci. Only three cases have been reported in the medical literature, and all involved prosthetic valves. We report a case of native valve bacterial endocarditis caused by L. garvieae.
