Veillonella montpellierensis Endocarditis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Veillonella spp. rarely cause infections in humans. We report a case of Veillonella endocarditis documented by isolating a slow-growing, gram-negative microbe in blood cultures. This microbe was identified as the newly recognized species Veillonella montpellierensis (100% homology) by 16S RNA gene sequence analysis.

Prosthetic valve endocarditis due to Veillonella dispar: successful medical treatment following penicillin desensitization.
Serious human disease due to Veillonella species is uncommon. We report the fifth case ofwell-documented infectious endocarditis in which Veillonella species was the sole pathogen. Optimal treatment, particularly for patients who are allergic to penicillin, is not well established. A 56-year-old man presented to the hospital with a 2-week history of fatigue and a I-week history of intermittent ...
متن کاملThe Sialic Acid Binding Protein, Hsa, in Streptococcus gordonii DL1 also Mediates Intergeneric Coaggregation with Veillonella Species
Dental biofilm development involves initial colonization of the tooth's surface by pioneer colonizers, followed by cell-cell coaggregation between the pioneer and later colonizers. Streptococcus gordonii is one of the pioneer colonizers. In addition to its role in oral biofilm development, S. gordonii also is a pathogen in infective endocarditis in susceptible humans. A surface adhesin, Hsa, ha...
متن کاملNative Valve Endocarditis due to Veillonella Species: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Veillonella species are fastidious bacteria that have been isolated from skin, dental, and respiratory tract infections and rarely have been implicated in serious infections like meningitis, endocarditis, and osteomyelitis. A 76-year-old woman presented to our hospital with fever, vomiting, and generalized weakness for 3 days. A transthoracic echocardiogram showed a mobile structure on anterior...
متن کاملNext-Generation Sequencing Combined with Specific PCR Assays To Determine the Bacterial 16S rRNA Gene Profiles of Middle Ear Fluid Collected from Children with Acute Otitis Media
The aim of the study was to analyze the bacteriome of acute otitis media with a novel modification of next-generation sequencing techniques. Outpatient children with acute otitis media were enrolled in the study, and middle ear fluids were collected during 90 episodes from 79 subjects aged 5 to 42 months (median age, 19 months). The bacteriome profiles of middle ear fluid samples were determine...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of Veillonella atypica OK5, the First Transformable Strain in the Species
The Veillonella atypica strain OK5 was isolated from a human saliva sample and was the first strain shown to be genetically transformable in the Veillonella genus. Genetic studies using this strain have helped us gain much insight into the ecology of human oral biofilms. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of V. atypica OK5.
