Abstract

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a condition with low prevalence but high mortality rates within intensive care units. Microbiologically, most cases are attributed to Gram-positive cocci, while Gram-negative bacilli are less commonly involved. This case report describes a patient with IE caused by Citrobacter koseri (C. koseri) with secondary bacteremia due to blunt testicular trauma and epididymitis. We conducted a review of the literature to assess the clinical and associated risk factors of this underreported condition. Elderly and urinary tract infections could be associated with this entity. Cefazolin was used as the final targeted treatment. The use of precision medicine in IE is required for specific interventions.
