Endocarditis caused by Thalassospira sp.

Endocarditis caused by Thalassospira sp.

We report a case of an infective endocarditis caused by a Thalassospira sp. in a 53-year-old man with pre-existing valvular lesions and living in French Polynesia as a fisherman. The strain was identified with DNA-sequecing methods while it was not by mass spectrometry.
