Abstract
|
|
|
|
Flavimonas oryzihabitans is a yellow-pigmented, non-spore forming, gram-negative bacillus mainly found in damp environments such as soil and stagnant water. F. oryzihabitans is an uncommon cause of clinically significant human infection. This organism has been mainly reported to cause infection related to indwelling intravenous catheters, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis catheters or surgical procedures in immune compromised hosts or cancer patients. We report a case of community-acquired infective endocarditis caused by F. oryzihabitans in a 24-year-old man who had no significant past medical history. He was successfully treated by antimicrobial therapy and mitral valvuloplasty.
