Abstract

ABSTRACT This is the first reported case of endocarditis due to the Lactobacillus -like vancomycin-resistant gram-positive bacillus Weissella confusa . Full identification and susceptibility testing of Lactobacillus -like organisms recovered in blood culture should be performed for patients with clinical presentations that suggest endocarditis.
