Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis Caused by Pseudomonas Luteola
Overview
Affiliations
Background: Pseudomonas luteola has been recognized as an uncommon cause of bacteremia and of infections in patients with underlying medical disorders.
Case Presentation: We isolated P. luteola from blood cultures in a patient with prosthetic valve endocarditis developed 16 months after cardiac surgery.
Conclusion: P. luteola is a rare opportunistic agent, with a propensity of infecting valvular prostheses.
