Aerococcus viridans is a rare human pathogen that occasionally causes endocarditis. Most of the reported cases of endocarditis have been treated with penicillin. Here we describe a patient who was allergic to penicillin and was successfully treated with cefotaxime. Copyright (c) 2011, Taiwan Society of Microbiology. Published by Elsevier Taiwan LLC.
