Most species require either exogenous X or V factor or both to grow, but can grow without these factors. rarely causes invasive infections such as endocarditis, septicemia, pneumonia and peritonitis in human. Two cases of infective endocarditis by have been reported in Korea. However, there has been no report of polymicrobial endocarditis by and other bacteria. We isolated and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) from the blood of a 38-year-old woman with prosthetic valve endocarditis. She underwent an emergent operation and a culture of the prosthetic valve grew. Brain abscess was developed at hospital day was susceptible to all antibiotics tested such as ampicillin and cefotaxime, and CNS was susceptible to oxacillin and vancomycin. The patient responded well to therapy with ceftriaxone, teicoplanin, and gentamicin., Coagulase-negative staphylococci, Endocarditis Address reprint requests to : Dongeun Yong, M.D., Department of Laboratory Medicine, Yonsei University College of Medicine, 134 Shinchon-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul , Korea.
