Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve Endocarditis in Association with Enterococcus durans.

Luca Fallavollita, Lorena Di Gioacchino, Fabrizio Balestrini.   

Abstract

Enterococci are common organisms associated with endocarditis, but infection by Enterococcus durans is very rare. To our knowledge, only 3 cases have been reported in the medical literature, and all 3 have involved native valves. Here we publish the first reported case (to our knowledge) of E. durans endocarditis in association with a bioprosthetic aortic valve. After the organism and its antibiotic susceptibility were identified, the 74-year-old male patient was treated successfully with teicoplanin and gentamicin, over a course of 6 weeks.
