A fatal endocarditis case due to an emerging bacterium: <i>Moraxella nonliquefaciens</i>.
IDCases 20170213
<i>Moraxella nonliquefaciens</i> is a Gram-negative coccobacillus considered as a commensal organism from the upper respiratory tract, with low pathogenic potential. The phenotypical conventional identification is difficult and the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight technology has increased the resolution of identification of this bacterium. We report a fatal case of endocarditis due to <i>M. nonliquefaciens</i> whose identification was confirmed by 16S rRNA, and we revie ...[more]
