Leptotrichia endocarditis: Report of two cases from the International Collaboration on Endocarditis (ICE) database and review of previous cases

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, Volume 27, No. 2, Year 2008

Leptotrichia species typically colonize the oral cavity and genitourinary tract. We report the first two cases of endocarditis secondary to L. goodfellowii sp. nov. Both cases were identified using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Review of the English literature revealed only two other cases of Leptotrichia sp. endocarditis. © 2007 Springer-Verlag.
