齿状刺梨是一种罕见的革兰氏阳性细菌，是通常存在于口腔和呼吸道的一组微生物之一。齿状根结线虫很少致病。记录在案的病例主要发生在瓣膜或牙科疾病或两者兼有的患者中。我们报告了一位先前健康的58岁男子的病例，他提出了由这种细菌引起的细菌性心内膜炎的证据--这种细菌源于一个难以捉摸的来源。他的心内膜炎通过二尖瓣置换术和抗生素治疗获得成功。
Rothia dentocariosa is a rare gram-positive bacterial organism, one of the group of microbes that normally resides in the mouth and respiratory tract. R. dentocariosa rarely causes disease. Documented cases occur chiefly in patients with valvular or dental disease, or both. We report the case of a previously healthy 58-year-old man who presented with evidence of bacterial endocarditis caused by this organism-which originated from an elusive source. His endocarditis was successfully treated with mitral valve replacement and the administration of antibiotic agents.
