Rothia mucilaginosa Prosthetic Device Infections: a Case of Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis

摘要

Rothia mucilaginosa is increasingly recognized as an emerging opportunistic pathogen associated with prosthetic device infections. Infective endocarditis is one of the most common clinical presentations. We report a case of R. mucilaginosa prosthetic valve endocarditis and review the literature of prosthetic device infections caused by this organism.
