Abstract

Corynebacteria are rare causative agents of infective endocarditis. This is a reported case of a destructive aorto-mitral infective endocarditis caused by Arthrobacter woluwensis. Microbial identification was achieved by 16S rRNA polymerase chain reaction on valve tissue samples. Outcome was favorable after surgical valve replacement and 4-week antibiotic treatment.
