Prosthetic valve endocarditis caused by Acinetobacter calcoaceticus subsp. lwoffi.

I Weinberger, E Davidson, Z Rotenberg, J Fuchs, J Agmon.   

Abstract

Acinetobacter spp. are uncommon etiologic agents of prosthetic valve endocarditis. Two patients with Acinetobacter calcoaceticus subsp. lwoffi prosthetic valve endocarditis are described. The patients were successfully treated with antibiotics (cefotaxime sodium and gentamicin sulfate); thus, we suggest medical treatment rather than early valve replacement in this particular type of infection.
