RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Al-Hujailan, Ghanem A1 Lagacé-Wiens, PhilippeYR 2007 T1 Mechanical valve endocarditis caused by Gemella morbillorum JF Journal of Medical Microbiology, VO 56 IS 12 SP 1689 OP 1691 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/jmm.0.47389-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1473-5644, AB As the usual pathogen spectrum of a late-onset (>12 month post-operatively) prosthetic valve endocarditis is similar to normal valve endocarditis, with the exception of coagulase-negative staphylococcus, a prosthetic valve endocarditis caused by unusual bacterial pathogens represents a therapeutic and diagnostic dilemma. The lack of well established criteria or clinical experience for the management of such infections makes therapy and prognosis difficult to determine. A case of successfully treated Gemella morbillorum prosthetic valve endocarditis and a review of the relevant literature are presented., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/jmm.0.47389-0
