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