Infective endocarditis due to an unusual serotype of Salmonella

Indian Heart J. 2001 May-Jun;53(3):350-1.

Abstract

Salmonellae are a rare cause of infective endocarditis. We report a case in which Salmonella enterica serotype Worthington was isolated from a case of endocarditis. The isolate was resistant to ampicillin, gentamicin, amikacin and chloramphenicol and sensitive to ciprofloxacin and cefotaxime.
