Bacterial calcification in infective endocarditis.

D N Poller1, A Curry, L A Ganguli, R C Routledge.   

Abstract

The present report is the first description to our knowledge of a clinical case of bacterial calcification in human infective endocarditic vegetations. Partial calcification of bacteria within vegetations may be a further mechanism of bacterial protection from host defences and antibiotics. Similar calcification has recently been reported in vegetations formed on porcine valvular prostheses implanted experimentally in sheep.
