Infective endocarditis due to an unusual serotype of Salmonella.

Salmonellae are a rare cause of infective endocarditis. We report a case in which Salmonella enterica serotype Worthington was isolated from a case of endocarditis. The isolate was resistant to ampicillin, gentamicin, amikacin and chloramphenicol and sensitive to ciprofloxacin and cefotaxime.
