Progression of Lactobacillus plantarum prosthetic valve endocarditis followed by transesophageal echocardiogram

Progression of Lactobacillus plantarum prosthetic valve endocarditis followed by transesophageal echocardiogram

Endocarditis due to Lactobacillus species is extremely rare. We report an uncommon case of Lactobacillus plantarum bioprosthetic aortic valve endocarditis, presenting with severe aortic steno-regurgitation, which responded to conventional medical and surgical treatment. This case provides a better u...
