Abstract EN
Actinomyces rarely causes endocarditis with 25 well-described cases reported in the literature in the past 75 years.
We present a case of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) caused by Actinomyces naeslundii.
To our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature of endocarditis due to this organism and the second report of PVE caused by Actinomyces.
