Association of an important Neisseria species, Neisseria elongata subsp. nitroreducens, with bacteremia, endocarditis, and osteomyelitis.
We retrospectively analyzed epidemiologic information associated with 22 cultures of Neisseria elongata subsp. nitroreducens (formerly CDC group M-6) submitted to the Microbial Diseases Laboratory, California Department of Health Services, Berkeley, over a 16-year period. The most common illnesses noted with this bacterium were endocarditis, bacteremia, and osteomyelitis. Risk factors associate...
متن کاملProsthetic valve endocarditis due to Neisseria mucosa.
Non-gonococcal non-meningococcal Neisseria sp. normally inhabits the upper respiratory tract in human beings. There are four recognized species within the genus: N. sicca, N. mucosa, N. subflava and N. flavescens. They have low pathogenicity. Among them, Neisseria mucosa and N. sicca have been described to cause endocarditis. To our knowledge, this is the fourth reported case of prosthetic valv...
متن کاملNative Mitral Valve Endocarditis Caused by Neisseria elongata subsp. nitroreducens in a Patient with Marfan Syndrome: First Case in Italy and Review of the Literature
Neisseria elongata (NE) is an aerobic Gram-negative organism that constitutes part of the commensal human normal oropharyngeal flora. Although previously considered not to be pathogenic, it has been recognized as an occasional cause of significant infections in humans. We report here the first case in Italy of infective endocarditis of a native prolapsing mitral valve in a patient with Marfan s...
متن کاملProsthetic valve endocarditis due to Neisseria skkuensis, a novel Neisseria species.
We describe the first reported case of endocarditis due to Neisseria skkuensis. The organism from the blood cultures taken on admission day was identified initially as unidentified Gram-negative cocci by Vitek2. Finally, it was identified as Neisseria skkuensis by 16 rRNA gene sequence analysis.
متن کاملProsthetic valve endocarditis due to Mycobacterium chelonei.
Starr-Edwards mitral and aortic prosthetic valves served as nidi for endocarditis due to M chelonei. Cultural, physiologic, lipid chromatographic, and serologic studies identified the organism as M chelonei (abscessus).
